Sunrise Balloons offers a once in a life time experience in a hot air balloon. Lift off and drift effortlessly over the rugged landscape, lakes, rivers and mountains. Flights normally take place in the valleys between Queenstown and Arrowtown. Get a bird's eye view of some of the filming locations used in Lord of The Rings.
After a spectacular flight, indulge in a champagne style breakfast served at the landing site. Some locations used in The Lord of The Rings can also be seen, for example, The Ford of Bruinen; Dimrill Dale; The Gates of Argonath; The Pillars of The Kings. Also visible is Mount Earnslaw, one of the great mountains seen in Isengard.
