About Us
Avon Valley Ballooning is owned and operated by Sven & Cathy Tetlow.
Sven grew up in and around Northam obtaining his Balloon licence in Northam in 1984. He has since logged over 3500 hours commercially, and has an impeccable safety record. Sven left Northam in 1988 to begin his full time career as a Balloon Pilot, working in Alice Springs, Cairns and Townsville.
Cathy is great at running the office and handling all your enquiries.
After all this time away and with growing Children it was time
to return home to the West.
In setting up Avon Valley Ballooning, Sven and Cathy have
used their experience in Tourism to concentrate on small groups and personalised service. We believe we have achieved this by offering Balloon Flights Daily, for a minimum of 2 and maximum of 12 passengers, with transfers available from Perth.
Why not indugle that special someone, or create that memorable moment with a Balloon Flight.
