What to bring:
Casual clothing is suggested and closed toed shoes (sneakers/joggers/walking shoes) are a good idea as we sometimes launch and land in a paddock with long grass, which can be wet. It is no colder up in the air than it is when you walk out of your front door, so just wear what you are warm and comfortable in. Layers are a good idea as it gets warmer as the morning proceeds. Don’t forget your sunglasses, camera (reliable batteries) and a hat if needed. You are ready to go Hot Air Ballooning.
Fitness level required:
Low
Child policies:
Children are aged 3 to 14 years inclusive. We are unable to accommodate children under the age of 3 years due to Civil Aviation Safety Authority regulations.The balloon burner that we use to create the hot air makes a loud noise during operation and gives off a 3 metre long flame. The noise can upset some young children and our crew will explain to the parents prior to commencing the burner operation so they can forewarn the child.
