Methven
There can be few finer places to take a balloon flight than New Zealand's Canterbury Plains. We take off close to the foothills of Mt. Hutt, where the mountains provide excellent shelter from the prevailing North Westerly winds. We have unlimited airspace restrictions upto 9,500 ft which gives us fantastic views across the southern alps as far away as Mt. Cook and Mt. Aspiring and also looking East across the patchwork landscape of the plains to the Pacific coast. Methven is a great place to spend a few days with many other attractions including mountain walks and the Lord of the Rings site at Mt. Sunday.
Canterbury Region
We meet in the center of Methven where there is ample parking and conveniences. After introductions, we will travel in our 4X4 chase vehicle to the best launch site for the given wind direction on the day (approx. 20 mins). We will then have a safety briefing and inflate the balloons. After take-off we usually climb to a good altitude for seeing the panoramic views and take pictures (we also have a camera attached to the balloon for inflight photographs). After which we descend to a lower altitude for the second half of the flight where you will be able to see things on the ground better. After landing we will enjoy a celebration drink in the landing field and then travel back to Methven in the chase vehicle, which will have been following us throughout the flight.
Photos will be posted on Facebook or on request from us [email protected]
To finish we will be having a celebratory glass of Sparkling wine or fruit juice

Unfortunately the weather didn’t behave well with low cloud postponing our experience until 9:45. We went through cloud and could view the tops of the mountains in a beautiful setting which was a bonus of the circumstances. We both really enjoyed our flight over the fields and rivers and highly recommend this experience- Wendy and Rex

Fantastic way to spend a Sunday morning. Snow on the Southern Alps in the background, farm and river views and other mountains too. A very skilled team of two organised our flight and safely delivered us back. Fresh muffins and champers rounded off this informative and fun morning. Will be buying this as a gift for my other family members

What a wonderful experience. Graham and his team were professional and very knowledgeable which added to the amazing experience. We had a perfect day, felt 100% safe. Felt part of the team as we assisted in the setup. Their instructions were very clear which added to the confidence in the company. Would definitely recommend this company and experience. Ended the adventure with a glass of champagne. A perfect trip.

We were planning to do the hot air balloon trip on 30th December, but unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate and we had to cancel. We tried again the next day, but the weather was still not on our side. So we had to cancel the tour. However, the cancellation and rescheduling process was seamless and easy. They let us know a day in advance, which helped us heaps with planning our time. We will definitely go again.

Awesome hot air balloon experience that exceeded expectations. Not only was the information provided accurate but the entire outing was calm, professional and delivered what was advertised. At no time did I feel unsafe or was left wondering what was going on. Thanks for a great outing.. . Hoping i got some awesome photos too 👏
