DESCRIPTION: Your memories will last a lifetime. 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.
VENUE: Northam Airfield, Northam, Western Australia (100km North of Perth)
DURATION: Please allow 4-5 hours for the morning's experience. Your flight will last from 45 minutes up to an hour.
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.

"Damian, Just to say we had a fabulous day ballooning with you recently. We really enjoyed the experience as part of our honeymoon from Ireland. We will definitely recommend it to anyone heading to your beautiful country. I was initially a bit nervous when we got the voucher as a gift from friends as John hates heights but he absolutely loved it. It was great and it was just a lovely morning in the Avon Valley. If you ever make it to Ireland, you would be welcome to stay at our place in Kinsale. All the very best for your continued success. Warm regards from Ireland John & Fiona"
