Avon Valley Balloon Flight – weekdays: Your hot air ballooning adventure begins just before sunrise in the departure lounge of the hangar at the Northam Airfield in the beautiful Avon Valley Western Australia. Your balloon flight will take you over peaceful, rural landscape. Float above rolling hills and lush green farmlands allows you plenty of time to take in the panoramic views. The gentle river and streams below are the ideal setting for the oldest and form of flight.
Avon Valley Balloon Flight
Highlights:
- Watching the sunrise in a hot air balloon
- Floating above Avon Valley's wonderful rural scenery
- Delicious cooked breakfast and champagne after the flight
Following check-in and a hot coffee (or two!), guests are transferred out to the launch site on-board. At the launch site it's all hands on deck as the pilot and ground crew unload the basket and inflate the balloon. Passengers are able to assist with the inflation of the balloons which helps add that extra dimension to the whole hot air ballooning experience.
Once aboard the balloon, your pilot will run through vital in-flight information including balloon safety and the importance of ballast! Once aloft enjoy the spectacle of seeing the first signs of dawn shed light over the Avon Valley, a glorious patchwork of colours.
Your Pilot will provide an informative commentary on the region and the activities it hosts.
After disembarking its all hands on deck once again as you discover the art of repacking the balloon before being taken to the Fountain Restaurant at historic Fitzgeralds Hotel to celebrate your experience in style with a sumptuous breakfast, champagne and certificate of flight presentation by your Pilot.
