Balloon Expedition Co of NZ Ltd provides hot air balloon rides by appointment for individuals and/or groups of up to 16 people. Balloon flights are by nature dependent on wind speed and direction. Therefore most of our flights take place over Auckland's North West and or the upper reaches off the Waitemata Harbour, but we do on occasion fly Auckland City. Flight duration is approximately 1 hour, however the availability of suitable landing sites will determine the actual time in the air. Following our flight we collapse and pack the balloon, then provide you with a complimentary snack breakfast which includes local sparkling wine and crossants, cheeseboard and fresh fruit. We also do flight training and operate exclusive flights
