Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Definitely worth it! Amazing experience and the view of Canterbury plains is something picturesque. Would do it again over the winter! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Taking pictures and telling stories of the places around the region. After the flight, there were drinks and muffin and fruits to enjoy afterwards.Sn

We had an amazing flight with Michael and the team. We booked this as a staff outing for over 50 of us, we took two balloons at once and then did a double hop. Everything was organised seamlessly and the views were amazing.
The pilots were extremely knowledgeable and made for a seamless day. We had a great post-flight picnic with bubbles and snacks and were told some great stories about the history of Hot Air Ballooning.
I would highly recommend Ballooning Canterbury and would look to book with them again in the future.

A great experience a part of a corporate event. The pilots and ground crew were friendly and helpful. We were involved in setting up and packing away the balloon which was really interesting, and the flight was magic

It was a pleasure to have your group come and experience a balloon flight with us. You picked a perfect morning and I hope you left with great memories.
