Gently float across the Hunter Valley countryside and vineyards, rolling hills and farmlands early in the morning finishing at an unknown destination, purely on the whim of the breeze followed by a gourmet breakfast. This is what awaits you with this Hunter Valley Gourmet Hot Air Balloon Flight. The rolling countryside of the Hunter Valley reveals itself as you rise above the farms with horses and cattle crazing, kangaroos bounding in packs below.
Hunter Valley Gourmet Hot Air Balloon is both picturesque and tranquil and you hear very little sound from the awakening Hunter Valley countryside below.
On the Day of your Hunter Valley Gourmet Hot Air Balloon Adventure:
Generally in the warmer months we meet at 5am and during the cooler months 6am. All passengers are required to check in the last work day prior to their flight to ensure they know the correct meeting time and location. The meeting time for your hot air balloon flight will change depending on what time the sun rises.
Meet at the confirmed time and are taken in our vehicles to the launch site, which is determined according to the winds on the day.
You are then welcome to help us with the inflation of the balloons, which takes about 20 minutes.
