RedBalloon is your one-stop shop for experiences and curated gifts. We’re so confident you’ll love what you get from us, we’re offering this promise to you…
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we’ve got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we’ll do the work for you.
Not only do we handpick the best experiences for you, we also guarantee you’ll pay the same as you would buying direct from the experience provider. If you find the same experience advertised at a lower standard price on the same day by the same provider, simply take a screenshot of the experience advertised at the lower price and tell us within 30 days of your purchase and we’ll match it.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
Immerse yourself in the gorgeous town of Akaroa, nestled in the heart of an ancient volcano. Explore the village's charm, relax over lunch at an award-winning harbourside cafe, visit a working sheep farm and admire spectacular scenic vistas as you drive through the Banks Peninsula.
A sleepy town sitting in the crater of an extinct volcano, Akaroa is rich in both French and Maori history and is a wonderful place to explore. Your day begins with a scenic drive through the Banks Peninsula on a high summit route, offering views of rolling valleys, verdant farmlands and glimpses of the Southern Alps. Upon arrival, stroll through the charming streets and discover the township's arts and craft stores, or visit the museum and peek into the town's history. After lunch at an award-winning waterside cafe, drive to Paula Bay Farm for a delightful look into life on a working sheep farm. Marvel at the working sheep dogs, watch a sheep shearing demonstration and hear stories from the owner. On the journey back to Christchurch, you will visit the Cheese Factory at Barry's Bay if time permits.
