Testimonials

Hi Mark, I want to tell you and the team how much I enjoyed my balloon flight on Auckland Anniversary day.
The day itself was just perfect, as was the flight. If word of mouth is the best advertising – I have been telling everyone how marvellous it was, and showing my photos.

Thank you for a great experience.

Alison

Thank you so much for the ride. Was a present to myself for my venture into the 60s!! I just felt so at home up there and so relaxed-could’ve gone on forever!!
I love plants and so enjoyed floating over the top of the gardens, bush and parks of Hamilton-and that was in the city!!
You and your team were so professional and friendly.
Many thanks and hope to catch up with you another time.

Frances

Just to say many thanks for the experience and really enjoyed the flight. Lucky with weather being very clear and could see for miles. Already telling friends this is a must.
We have done other flights overseas and this was as professional and fun. Mark was informative and made everyone feel at ease

John & Maxine

I just wanted to send you an email to say thank you so much for the experience you gave my parents on the 20th April! Both of them enjoyed it immensely and said it was a huge pleasure to fly with Mark! Thank you also to Mark for signing my home made vouchers I made for them 🙂 I’ve had them laminated for a keepsake for them both to treasure.
