The "Magical" Sky Experience - operating from Methven, "New
Zealand's finest ballooning location". Pristine views can be
obtained of Mt Cook and National Park mountains. Nestled well
inland from the sea coast, being very central over the Canterbury
Plains and positioned alongside Mt Hutt International Ski
Field.
Methven is away from the restrictions of an International
Airport and Christchurch City and offers a full 300km panorama of
the entire Canterbury Plains farmland from south of Timaru to well
north of Christchurch City.
Commencing at daybreak, allow up to 4 hours of which about 1
hour is the actual flight concluding with a buffet Champagne-style
breakfast, offered as a picnic in the farmer's field where the
balloon lands. A non-flying ground fare is available for anyone who
does not wish to fly in the balloon.
