Safety

Safety is our first consideration. We will only fly in suitable weather conditions. Our team assesses the weather conditions many times a day and if they believe the conditions are not conducive to a fun and safe flight they will contact you to postpone to another more suitable time.

Early to bed, early to rise

Nothing surpasses the beauty of experiencing the sun rise over the beautiful Hunter Valley so we start early! Our approximate meeting time is 4:00am in summer and 5:00am in winter. Your tour will last approximately 4 hours.

Pre flight

After assembling together our ground crew will transport you to the launch site (selection based on wind direction). To get the full experience and learn about assembly of our hot air balloon, we invite everyone to assist in preparing the balloon for departure (approximately 20 minutes), however this is optional.

Before takeoff your pilot will take you through the required safety procedures. If you have any questions or concerns about the safety please free to ask your pilot.

Many people feel nervous the first time they fly. This is very natural.

Please feel assured that hot air ballooning is a very safe activity and our pilots are highly experienced.
