Up Up and Away Balloon Flight

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.

Watch as the parks, rivers and buildings fade into the distance, making way for the patchwork farmland of the Canterbury Plains, with views of the Southern Alps to the west and the endless blue of the ocean to the east.

This Christchurch tour takes off at sunrise, allowing you to enjoy the beginning of the day in an original and memorable way, and still be able to fit in the rest of your busy itinerary.

Whether you are on holidays or live in New Zealand, the views on offer from Up Up and Away's balloons will take your breath away!
