Balloon Flight for a Child

Balloon Flight for a Child
Make the flight of a life time and enjoy this unforgettable experience floating gently over the beautiful Hunter Valley in a majestic hot air balloon.
cessnock, NSW
JU105

 

$200
After meeting and checking in, the pilot will determine the wind speed and direction and decide on a suitable launch site from one of over thirty sites located around the valley. You are transported to the launch site in our vehicles, and any non flying participants are welcome to follow in their own cars. At the launch site the hot air balloon will be rigged and inflated by our ground crew. You may wish to assist its part of the fun. After a final pre launch briefing, you will ascend into the sky. The ground crew follows the hot air balloon, to be on hand when your pilot brings you safely back to earth at the conclusion of the balloon ride. After the hot air balloon has landed the balloon is packed away, and you are returned to Cessnock Airport to celebrate the flight with a glass of juice and complimentary breakfast of tea, coffee, juice, quiche, fruit cake and biscuits.
  • Meet the pilot and help inflate the balloon.

  • Spend between 45 minutes and 1 hour in the air floating over the picturesque Hunter Valley.

  • Return for a celebratory sumptuous breakfast.

  • Receive a commemorative flight certificate and photograph as a memento of your trip.
