Ballooning Festival Hot Air Balloon Flight - Orange Region NSW Canowindra Balloon Fiesta
Nothing compares to the exhilaration of taking off in a Hot Air Balloon with dozens of other Hot Air Balloons around you. The view is magnificent, the experience unique. After take off you'll drift over the scenic Belubula Valley near Orange in New South Wales. This Balloon Flight makes a unique and memorable gift for that special person.
Rising before dawn, you can join the crew in unpacking and preparing the balloon for flight - which is a spectacle in itself. After the exhilarating launch, you'll drift with the wind silently over the beautiful farmlands and valleys of the Central West of NSW. Of course you never know where you're going to end up as you can't steer balloons; to maneuver the balloon your pilot ascends or descends in altitude, catching different wind currents.
After landing you can help the crew pack the balloon away, which is a bit like packing up a 100ft tall sleeping bag! To top off the morning you'll celebrate with a gourmet champagne breakfast at "Tom's Waterhole Winery", complete with local produce, wines and real espresso coffee. Unforgettable!
