Early Morning Balloons in Hastings, Hastings, New Zealand | Ballooning | Hot Air Balloons | Hot Air Ballooning

Welcome to Early Morning Balloons, Hastings, New Zealand. Hastings, Hawkes Bay is the headquarters for Early Morning Balloons Limited, centrally situated on the East Coast of the North Island. It is New Zealand's leading food and wine destination, and a year round tourist destination.

For a simply magical experience, come Ballooning over Hawkes Bay Wine Country and enjoy panoramas from the mountains to the sea and the very best views of Hawkes Bay.

At Early Morning Balloons, Ballooning flights take place in the early morning within the first few hours of sunrise. They last approximately one hour but 4 hours total excursion time is normal. We meet at dawn on the western outskirts of Hastings, and fly in a group of six passengers with the pilot, over a patchwork of farmland, vineyards, orchards, and town, with a picturesque mountain backdrop. We launch our balloons from sites to give the best advantage of wind direction. After the flight our chase vehicle will return you to your vehicle which will remain at the launch site. After packing up, share a traditional Ballooning picnic before returning to the meeting place.
