Highlights
- Enjoy a 60 minute balloon flight beside the West MacDonnell Ranges.
- Enjoy picnic style champagne breakfast.
Overview
Your ballooning adventure begins in the cool pre dawn darkness as you are picked up from your accommodation in Alice Springs.
During the 15-minute drive to our desert launch site you will get to know the crew as they make final weather checks and explain the routine for the morning. At the launch site gas burners are used to inflate the balloons.
The balloon flight takes place to the south of Alice Springs, between the Alice Springs Airport and the MacDonnell Ranges.
Floating gently in the air, you will appreciate the vast remoteness of the Australian outback.
Wildlife, particularly big red kangaroos, are seen nearly every day as the balloon crosses spinifex grasses, mulga scrub and cattle stations.
After landing you may become involved in assisting the crew or taking photographs as we pack the nylon balloon back into its bag.
At the balloon landing site you will be offered champagne and tropical fruit juice accompanied by a selection of muesli biscuits, exotic slices, cheese and fresh fruit.
