Providing spectacular balloon
rides over the Canterbury Plains from Christchurch, Balloon

most advanced balloons in New Zealand.
As New Zealand's leading
ballooning company, Balloon Adventures Up Up and Away Limited is
licensed by the Civil Aviation Authority and all balloons undergo
regular tests. Chris Johnson and Hal Tapley, Directors of Balloon
Adventures Up Up and Away Ltd, are passionate about ballooning and

view of the sun rising out of the ocean, toward snow-capped
mountains.

Watch as the parks, rivers and
buildings fade into the distance, making way for the patchwork
farmland of the Canterbury Plains, in view of the Southern Alps to
the west and the endless blue of the ocean to the east.
Ballooning is suitable for all
sorts of people, making it possible for families with children
over the age of five.
We take off everyday of the
year.... weather permitting!
Sunrise start: Early morning is best as it is the calmest time of
day. This can range from as early as 5am in the spring and summer
to as late as 7am in winter. Regardless of the time, what a way to
start the day!
