The flight usually lasts 1 hour +/- 15mins depending on the weather. You can still enjoy hot coffee during the flight.
Landing really depends on the landscape of the area and the wind speeds. The basket could have few bumps before halting, and / or tip over, but most of the time it is a smooth and soft as the flight it self. Once you disembark, you will enjoy a traditional balloon celebration with a little history on how the tradition came to be.
After this you will be driven to our carefully selected bush breakfast area, warmly welcomed by our team to enjoy a scrumptious plated breakfast. Be sure to give us any dietary requirements before hand so we can cater for you.
