Few things in life can compare to the thrill and exhilaration of a ride in a hot air balloon. Whether you are 9 years old or 90 years old, the sensation of being airbourne in a beautiful hot air balloon cannot be equalled. Imagine! As the dew covered fields shrink silently away, the panorama of the earth becomes a breathtaking view of beauty and life.
Experience sunrise like never before-floating over vineyards, townships and wide open spaces from the serenity of a hot air balloon. Your Hot Air Ballooning Adventure begins an hour before dawn. We become airbourne just as the sun peeps over the horizon. Even when the clouds hide the sun, the experience is lovely, mystical and ethereal. We stay airbourne for approx an hour.
Hot Air Ballooning is unique and we can also do things that can't be done in other types of aircrafts, such as low-flying at low speed. You will also be able to see people on the ground, view wildlife close-up, as well as high-flying for uninterrupted 360 views.
All our outings include sparkling wine, chocolates, orange juice and nibbles followed by cooked breakfast when we get back to town. Before your adventure ends, you will receive a full-colour personalised flight certificate to show the world that, yes, you really did go hot air ballooning.
