What to Expect on the Day

Pre-dawn meet or pickup

You meet at the launch field or are collected before sunrise, when the air is calmest.

Inflation and take-off

You watch the crew inflate the balloon and lift off gently as the sun comes up.

The flight

For about an hour you drift over the Avon Valley near Perth, the Avon River winding through farmland and bushland, the pilot rising and dipping with the wind.

Sparkling wine and breakfast

After a soft landing, most flights finish with a sparkling-wine toast and a winery or buffet breakfast.

Camera or phone with a wrist strap
Cash for a tip
Your booking voucher

✗ Leave behind

High heels or loose sandals
Loose scarves without straps
Selfie sticks and tripods (often not allowed in the basket)
