What you can expect
Discover Queenstown from the air on a one hour sunrise hot air balloon flight over New Zealand's Southern Alps. Return transfers collect you from central Queenstown or Frankton, and after a comprehensive safety briefing you are welcome to help inflate the balloon before climbing aboard. With an experienced CAA certified pilot in command, you drift to heights of up to 6,000 feet as first light spreads across the basin.
Look out over Lake Whakatipu, The Remarkables, Coronet Peak, Lake Hayes and the Shotover and Kawarau Rivers, with Aoraki Mount Cook and Mount Aspiring on the horizon on clear days. Parts of this landscape appeared in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Once you land, help pack the balloon away, then celebrate in the field with non alcoholic bubbles, freshly brewed tea and coffee and a spread of croissants and danishes.
