Early Morning Balloon Flight

  • Duration: 4 Hours (approx.)

Experience the breathtaking feeling of floating silently above the Outback as the sun slowly rises over the desert on this awe-inspiring ballooning adventure.

Journey to the launch site in the cool pre-dawn darkness just as the morning light begins to illuminate the rugged MacDonnell Ranges. Float gently across the vast expanse of the Central Australian outback, keeping an eye out for native wildlife, including the iconic red kangaroo.

After landing, you may assist the crew as they pack the nylon balloon away or you may prefer to take photographs, the choice is yours.

At the landing site, you will be able to light refreshments including sparkling wine or tropical fruit juice. There will also be an opportunity to purchase souvenirs and a commemorative flight certificate is given to all participants.

Flight distance will typically be between 10 and 20 kilometres. The balloon flight takes place approximately 15 kilometres to the south of Alice Springs adjacent to the MacDonnell Ranges and over the historic Owen Springs Cattle Station.

Balloon Chase Experience

  • Duration: 4 Hours (approx.)

If you would like to come and watch your friends/family take a hot air balloon flight then a balloon chase is for you!

We will pick you up with your group in the morning, and you will able to see how balloon flights work, including activities like checking the weather, and setting up and inflating the balloon. You will then travel through the desert with our crew to where the balloon lands.

Once you re-join your group, you can enjoy a glass of sparkling wine or tropical fruit juice and refreshments with the other passengers before returning to town.

Return transfers from all accommodations in Alice Springs are included with every flight. Pick-up time is approximately 1 hour before the first light – time will be given when booking and the exact time will be confirmed the day before the flight is booked. Transfers (at the end of the tour) to the airport or other tours are available on request.

The balloon chase must be booked with at least one adult booked on a balloon flight. Children must be accompanied by at least one adult. Limited space available.

The child pricing is only applicable for children aged 6-14 years. Children 3-5 years are not recommended but are considered on an individual basis.

Depending on many operational factors, which vary each day, passengers may be on the ground or in the balloon when the sun is actually coming over the horizon or rising. Rest assured, you will still see an amazing sunrise.

We do not operate on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.
