About Us

For a truly "out of this world" experience... it's Balloon Adventures Up Up and Away!

The Directors of Balloon Adventures Up Up and Away Ltd, are passionate about ballooning. After more than 18 years experience and 60,000 satisfied passengers, their enthusiasm is still on the rise, just like their balloons over the Canterbury Plains.

Ballooning is encouraged as a group activity, able to break boundaries of age and nationality. Hands on experience in helping set up the balloon leaves each traveller feeling as though they have really participated in creating their spectacular memories.

Balloon Adventures Up Up and Away Limited operates six of the largest and most advanced balloons in the country, with an overall capacity for up to 75 passengers at a time, making them ideal for groups.

As New Zealand's leading ballooning company, Balloon Adventures Up Up and Away Limited is licensed by the Civil Aviation Authority and all balloons undergo regular tests.

Jack Tapley, the company mascot pictured on the right, is an integral part of our ballooning operation and performs duties as diverse as you can imagine, from Welcoming Committee and Security, to Entertainment and Cork Chaser.

We guarantee you the best value balloon flight in the world!
