Spectacular experience. - Perfect weather conditions, friendly staff, massive colourful balloon, wonderful sights from above. The roar of the burners to the immediate silence. The bleating of sheep and lowing of cows as you descended. Helping pack up then finishing with a glass of bubbles. Absolute buzz!!

Grandioses and details - It was great! After a weather-related search for a suitable starting place, we had the opportunity to climb Mt. Cook to see and photograph. In the search for a suitable landing site we glided over fields, pastures, rivers and rows of trees and saw many details. That was wonderful as well as the great crew!
