Hot Air Ballooning - Byron Bay

What to Expect

Your morning begins before dawn, when the air is stable and the winds are calm, ensuring a tranquil flight. After a short flight briefing, help the pilot inflate the balloon. As the sun's first rays lighten the skies, the balloon swells, slowly taking its form.... Soon after, the balloon silently takes off and starts drifting with the wind, controlled by the experienced pilot that will give you a brief introduction to how a balloon is controlled and flown. Spend an hour in the air taking in the views and land for a celebratory breakfast.
