DESCRIPTION: Experience the peace and tranquillity of a "lighter than air" flight on a hot air balloon.
Lifting off at dawn you'll float gently over the Avon Valley, a rural landscape of rolling hills, lush green fields and meandering streams. Once airborne in your traditional wicker basket, witness the first signs of dawn shed light over the countryside, a patchwork of colours and patterns. You will be in safe hands as your flight will be conducted by Western Australia's oldest and most experienced commercial ballooning operator.
After the flight celebrate your experience with a sumptuous champagne breakfast in the French tradition.
Your flight will last from 45 minutes up to an hour, but your memories will last a lifetime.
VENUE: Northam Airfield, Northam, Western Australia (100km North of Perth)
DURATION: Please allow 4-5 hours for the morning's experience.
VALID FOR: 1 person.
RESTRICTIONS: Recommended minimum age is 8-10 years. Passengers must be fit enough to climb into the traditional wicker basket and stand unaided for the duration of the flight. Please advise if you have had recent back or leg injury/surgery.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Ballooning in Western Australia is seasonal. Flights take place during the cooler months from early April to late November as the hot and windy summer weather in Western Australia is unsuitable for ballooning.
WEATHER/CANCELLATIONS: Safety is paramount in our operations. Strong winds or heavy rain could result in cancellation by your Pilot. If this occurs passengers may then re-book their flight. No cancellations or changes to flight bookings will be accepted within 7 days prior to the day of flight and no refunds will be given.

"My husband and I were on a balloon flight, to celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary, and just wanted to say thank you to Pilots, crew and staff for the awesome experience. The weather was great, the champagne breakfast surpassed our expectations and I've told everyone I know that they must give it a go. Thank you again. Regards Brenda & Mike"
"Dear Team, Just wanted to say a huge 'Thank You' for a truly heavenly experience. Special thanks to Damien our pilot, whose (for those of us who were a tad nervous) calm, laid back in control approach added a tremendous amount of reassurance. He also provided us with just the right amount of information about the whole experience. I must add though that whoever put the music together for the bus ride has demonstrated a wonderful sense of humour - Up Up and Away, 99 Red Balloons, Come Fly With Me, Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines............much enjoyed! Have added a few pictures I thought you might like. Thank you, Cres"
