This hot air balloon flight begins 1 hour before dawn. You will be picked up by the crew and taken to one of our numerous launch sites. We then determine the best place to launch, and inflate the balloon. We encourage passenger participation to pack up the balloon, but not essential.

On the morning of your hot air balloon flight you will meet the crew and fellow passengers to sign the necessary paperwork before setting off.

During the 15-minute drive to our desert launch site you will get to know the crew as they make final weather checks and explain the routine for the morning. At the launch site gas burners are used to inflate the balloons just as the sun lights up the rugged MacDonnell Ranges.

Once floating gently in the air you will appreciate the vast remoteness of the Australian Outback. Wildlife, particularly big red kangaroos are seen nearly every day as the balloon crosses spinifex grasses, mulga scrub and cattle stations.

After landing you may become involved in assisting the crew or taking photographs as we pack the nylon balloon back into its bag. We then take you to a grassed, shaded area alongside the Todd River where you will be served a wholesome cooked breakfast!
