Around 15 mins late pick up. Thought we would rise before sunrise. But overall experience is great, and we had a fun time to collect the air balloon together

It was okay. We said we wanted to go on Monday if the weather was no good on Sunday - and was told that was okay but when I phoned 4.30 am Sunday and was told it had been cancelled that day I was quite bluntly told - by a lady who had been quite curt previously - that there were no places available on Monday. I was also told that our money would be refunded which hasn't happened yet.

It would be appreciated it if you could please refund our money ASAP as the balloon trip was cancelled by the company

We were robbed. I paid months ago for a balloon ride in Queenstown, NZ. Ride was cancelled twice - and I was promised a full refund but so far - and I think this is all we're getting - I have received back only $894.99 of $990 paid - 4 months ago. A respectable company might have paid back the original amount - with interest! Don't you think?

Correction - the original amount paid - was $921.34 - still a $26.36 difference. But I apologise for the $990 in the last one - which didn't allow for the exchange rate Aus to NZ - I'm still unhappy though.

Just confirming your payment was made for $990 NZD for your Sunrise Balloon ride in Queenstown. Unfortunately your flight was cancelled numerous times due to weather and as a result your refund was processed back to you. When an activity is cancelled due to weather you are always entitled to a full refund and in your case you were refunded $990NZD in full back to your account. As stated on the site, all bookings are paid for in NZD. As you paid with an Australian credit card then there is always going to be some movement with the exchange rate. This is entirely out of our hands and is determined by the banks on the day. I can assure you, the full $990NZD was refunded back from Everything Travel Group's account to yours. We certainly do not charge any fee or withhold any of the funds and a full refund is always provided. We would like to offer you a $50NZD gift voucher due to the inconvenience caused by the banks exchange rate on the day. You can use this credit towards any activity on our site for your next visit to NZ. Hopefully the weather may be a little more accommodating for a balloon flight! The voucher will be emailed to you.

The Travel Group were ok, processing my refund in reasonable time. Withheld $35, I'm left to assume for admin costs

The receptionist was extremely rude to me. Made me feel like dirt and tried to refuse to pick us up because I was free camping even though it was perfectly legal in my self contained van in a designated spot. She was not in the least apologetic when twice cancelling our ballooning 'due to weather'. The first time was indeed windy but the second time there was barely a breath of air and the way she spoke to me made me believe she never intended to fit us in. I ended up booking with a different company in Christchurch for nearly half the price

Thank you for providing us with your feedback and sorry to hear you didn't have a very good experience with Sunrise Balloons. I've spoken to Sunrise Balloons and they were very disappointed they could not get you out for a flight during the time you were in town. I believe your pick up location was changed which is why they did their best to schedule a pick up from as close to you as possible without disrupting the rest of the confirmed schedule. Sunrise certainly aren't in favour of cancelling as it isn't in their interest at all however if conditions are not suitable then they have no choice. Conditions for ballooning do have to be pretty perfect to be able to operate unfortunately so you can imagine being so reliant on the weather does cause a few headaches. I was asked to pass on further apologies from Sunrise Balloons regarding you not feeling very accommodated as that was never the intention to make you feel like this. In regards to your refund, please note you paid $1980 NZD and $1980 NZD was refunded. We don't withhold any fees when there is a cancellation and the full amount is refunded back to you and this was done however if you paid via international card then the exchange rate with your bank may have been different when the refund was processed which would either cause you getting more back than what you originally paid or less depending on the way the exchange rate had moved. I'm pleased you managed to fit a flight in while you were in Christchurch and once again thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback, we do appreciate it.

Everything Travel Group Review
This was really cool. I went up with a friend so we could share the experience. It was great, well run and really high!! Once we reached our cruising altitude it was quite nice checking out the view over the ocean, onto land and into the Rainforest. Even though it may seem scary, it's very smooth and quite passive – great for people of all ages.
Suggestions:
You have the choice of staying dry or having a dip in the water. We got dipped and loved it!

Thank you for your feedback and so sorry you were unable to go on your balloon flight. I understand it was Sunrise Balloons you spoke to directly in regards to changing your balloon flight and they moved your booking as requested but unfortunately the weather didn't play ball again. This is the first we've heard from you that your flight was cancelled. On your booking confirmation we ask that you inform us if your activity is cancelled so we can promptly process your refund. As we are now aware of your cancellation we have processed the refund straight back to your card. We were aware you'd rescheduled with Sunrise but unfortunately not that your second flight had been cancelled. Ballooning is a difficult one as it is very weather dependent and conditions have to be near perfect in order for the flights to depart so it certainly can be frustrating. I've passed your feedback onto Sunrise Balloons so they can get in touch with you directly regarding your disappointment and they way your situation was handled. Once again, thank you for taking the time to leave us with your feedback. It's important for us to understand any misgivings so we can improve our processes for the future.
