Embarking on a Methven-Mt Hutt scenic hot air balloon flight promises an exhilarating and unforgettable adventure, offering a unique perspective of the stunning Canterbury landscape from the foothills of Mt Hutt.
As you soar gently into the sky, prepare to be awe-struck by the panoramic views that unfold beneath you. From the snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps to the rolling hills and patchwork fields of the Canterbury Plains, the vistas are nothing short of breathtaking. Experience the serene tranquility of drifting silently through the air, with only the occasional whoosh of the burner interrupting the peace. Your hot air balloon flight will be led by experienced and knowledgeable pilots who are well-versed in the local area. They'll provide fascinating insights into the geography, history, and wildlife of the Canterbury region, enriching your journey with their expertise. Upon landing, celebrate your aerial adventure with a traditional champagne toast, a time-honored hot air ballooning tradition. Reflect on the beauty of your flight as you mingle with your fellow travelers and savor the moment.

That’s 10% of the Australian population! When we started ‘doing’ experiences in 2001, Facebook didn’t exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We’ve been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
