Ballooning Adventures Up Up Away Christchurch New Zealand

Providing spectacular balloon rides over the Canterbury Plains from Christchurch, Balloon Adventures Up Up and Away Limited operates five of the largest and 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 after more than 15 years experience they have had 50,000 satisfied passengers.

There is no other place in the world where it is possible to fly from the centre of the city, in view of the sun rising out of the ocean, toward snow-capped mountains.

  • 4-5 hours from start to finish

  • An early start!

  • Hands-on help in preparing the balloon

  • Approximately 1 hour long flight

  • Spectacular views and photo opportunities

  • A celebratory glass of chilled champagne (or fruit juice) after landing in a farmer's field

  • An in-flight photo of the flight available for purchase as a keepsake

  • Courtesy transfers to and from central Christchurch hotels and motels

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!
