For the Memories of a Life Time             

Rise above the Ordinary 

Let Avon Valley Ballooning introduce you to the gentle joy and total freedom of hot air ballooning.

Imagine floating as slowly as a cloud and looking at the world below. What better way to see some of the most spectacular scenery in Australia. Rolling Hills, the Avon River, the patterns of the country side, both man made and carved out by nature.

Ballooning is an experience that combines excitement, relaxation and wonder; it is a truly unique, and special experience. To ensure you get the most out of your morning, Avon Valley Ballooning only deals in small groups. We have the choice of flying one of two balloons; one which can carry 4 adults and another that can carry 12. The balloon that we operate on any given morning depends on passenger numbers.

Our minimum passenger number is two.

Your morning begins before dawn when the winds are gentle and a new day about to begin. Your flight lasts approximately one hour*. After your flight you will be invited to join in the fun and experience the ancient and mystical art of balloon 'packer-uppering'.

We suggest you wear practical clothing that you do not mind getting a little dirty, and bring along a spare pair of shoes (We often take off and land on damp grass). It gets no colder in the Balloon, in fact due to the heat from the burners it gets a little warmer. So if you are thinning a little on top please don't forget the hat.

After everyone has checked in for their flight, we go about fine tuning the weather report and selecting a launch sight for the morning. It takes approximately 30 minutes to fully inflate the balloon.

There is no pretty, easy or elegant way of climbing into or out of a balloon basket. You must however be agile enough to do this unaided.

Our Breakfast venue has been specially chosen to compliment your morning's experience. During breakfast you will be presented with your prized personalised flight certificate while being waited on by your pilot and crew.

The champagne that has been selected to toast your morning's flight is a slightly sweeter bubbly, just dry enough to stimulate the early morning palate and the fresh style ensures a great start to your day.
