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.

- Low

- 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.
