    Sunrise Balloons is based in Queenstown, New Zealand, flights are scheduled daily, all year round, weather permitting. Queenstown is quite possibly the best landscape in the world to view, and it's even better during a hot air balloon ride followed by a champagne celebration. Come and experience Hot Air Ballooning with us!

    We have gone to several countries previously to try hot air balloon. Either the launch point was too far away requiring setoff at very early hours or the ride was cancelled due to bad weather. So, when the opportunity came this time, we didn't think...More

    A beautiful morning flight with a sting finale

    Overall Queenstown is a beautiful place to be seen from a hot air balloon, and we had a perfect morning for it. This is not a sunrise balloon tour in case you're expecting that. It is a morning ride, post sunrise. Although pickup was 0645,...More
