Go hot air ballooning in Greater Sydney! Float above the historic Macarthur region or Penrith Valley in a beautiful balloon! Peaceful yet exhilarating, the hot air ballooning lasts for approximately one hour. Your Sydney adventure will finish with breakfast and a champagne toast!

Take off to experience breathtaking views in a dream scenario - hot air ballooning at sunrise. Float with the breeze over the picturesque landscape while viewing the stunning vista of the Blue Mountain to the west and the glistening ocean to the east.

You will be welcomed by your pilot and friendly crew one hour before sunrise. Tea or coffee is available while you listen to your flight briefing. You are then transported to the pilot's chosen launch site depending on the wind conditions. Here you can either help with the inflation of the balloon, or you are welcome to stand back and take photographs.

Once inflated you climb into the basket for a briefing with your experienced pilot. When airbourne, relax and enjoy the sensation of floating as one with the wind. As the balloon drifts serenely you can take pictures of the beautiful surrounding area or just enjoy the excitement, peace and tranquility of your balloon ride.

After approximately 1 hour of hot air ballooning you will be greeted by your crew as you land softly back down on earth. The romance of the morning continues as you feast on a sumptuous champagne breakfast and celebrate the most exhilarating morning of your life!

This experience voucher is valid for 12 months from date of purchase.

    We really enjoyed the whole experience, the weather was perfect, the pilot was very professional and interacted well with us. The greatest feeling to be floating above and only hearing the sound of morning birds and seeing a mob of kangaroos running beneath us through the vineyards. Only criticisim was a flippant comment made by one of the crew prior to our departure. It wasnt received well and he needs to be more professional in his approach, as we did pay $300 each for our flight. Overall co...

    The balloon ride was fantastic,considering I have a great fear of heights!!Martin ,our captain, was very welcoming and informative.I think the photos should be included in the price,considering we pay a lot for the experience.Unfortunately,our breakfast was a little dried out and rushed,and a cup of tea or coffee included ,would be nice .

    Both Gordon and I (Kay) thoroughly enjoyed the balloon ride, unfortunately, the weather wasn't the greatest, but that can't be helped. The crew were fantastic, telling tales, cracking jokes and generally such a happy group of people, who genuinely liked working together and got on well with each other. Everything was so well organised. Martin is a brilliant pilot and put us down right where he said he was.....Another thing off our bucket list !!!!!!!

    The hot air balloon ride in Camden was a very professionally run event, I would recommend that you stay in the local area as it is a very early start and after the champagne breakfast you can go back to bed as we did for an extra sleep in!
