Equally thrilling and relaxing, a hot-air ballooning adventure is a pure and unforgettable experience – especially over the unique city of Canberra. Depending on the wind direction, your flight will take you over the river allowing unparalleled views of the spectacular Canberra skyline, beautiful suburbs and parklands. The still morning air makes flying conditions perfect during what is known in the hot-air ballooning industry as the "weather window", a gloriously peaceful time over an often hectic city.
The hot-air ballooning journey begins with a briefing by the pilot before you head to the launch site and, if you like, help prepare the hot-air balloon for flight. Thirty minutes later you'll be drifting gracefully over the countryside. The hot-air ballooning flight itself will last around one hour.
After gently touching down again a hot air ballooning flight certificate is distributed to all passengers, rounding off a fabulous adventure. The icing on the cake is a glass of Champagne – the perfect way to toast your hot-air ballooning adventure.

My adventure was a birthday present from my daughter - when I rang her afterwards she had to tell me to slow down and talk more clearly as I was so excited trying to describe it to her.
