Hot Air Balloon Flight - Child

What to Expect

If you are flying in the Hunter Valley you may be flying over wine country, the hills, rivers, forests, or farmland of the Hunter. The views are simply breathtaking no matter which area you choose to fly with us.

First you'll join the pilot. You can choose to help inflate the balloon or sit back and watch as the balloon begins to rise. Once aloft, you will see how vast each area is. After approximately an hour floating in the air, you'll land to enjoy a traditional toast of fruit juice to celebrate the occasion. It's an incredible journey that you'll want to tell all your friends about.
