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.
With views of cliff faces contrasting with the lush native bush, there is no better way to enjoy Lake McLaren then by kayak. Enjoy a gentle paddle at one of the Bay of Plenty's hidden gems.
Meet your guide in Tauranga before enjoying the complimentary transfer to Lake McLaren. Here you'll receive a safety briefing before kayaking the lake amidst a multitude of birdlife, literally within paddles reach.
You will head into the magnificent Mangapapa canyon with water as deep as the cliffs on either side. Let your guide teach you the history of the region as you explore all the natural beauty the region has to offer before heading back to Tauranga.
