- Do you offer transportation from Auckland? If not, can you recommend the best transportation for us to get there? The hot air ballooning departs from Innes Common, Hamilton Lake. This is a 90 minute drive from Auckland (or 3 hours if you are taking the train/bus). Unfortunately there are no transport options from Auckland included in this tour. I would advise hiring a car and/or staying the night in Hamilton before hand as its an early start and there are no guarantees the balloon flight will go head with weather.
