Early Morning Ballooning over the Beautiful Hawkes Bay

Enjoy an early morning ballooning experience over the beautiful Hawkes Bay ‘The Fruit Bowl of New Zealand’. Hawkes Bay is the perfect region for ballooning with wide open spaces of farmlands, orchards, vineyards, and a picturesque mountain background. It has mild climate with low rainfall and many hours of sunshine. Most flights are centred on Hawkes Bay’s two main cities, Napier and Hastings. Napier claims to be the Art Deco capital of the world due to the proliferation of buildings in the 1930′s style in its commercial centre. Most of them were built in the 1930′s after a major earthquake devastated the city. Hastings is the centre of a rich fruit and wine producing area known as ‘The Fruit Bowl of New Zealand’.
