Hot Air Ballooning Over Greater Sydney
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!

I loved the whole experience, although I can suffer from motion sickness, and a little shy of heights, I couldn't wait to get into the basket and drift away. The peace, and tranquility floating gently in the air above the trees is heavenly, I didn't want it to end. I was impressed with the expertise of the pilots and the whole management of preparing the team for the flight. The breakfast was a bonus, and gave us the opportunity to talk about what we liked most.

The purchase, the booking process and the customer service we received during our balloon ride was of a high standard, very professional but ensuring people enjoy the trip. It was amazing
-
Brilliant experience over all, in particular the ride itself, was just an amazing moment
-
I was amazed at how little movement there was in the basket. It felt as if we were standing on solid ground. It was not in the least bit frightening. I had a really lovely morning with my husband. I would recommend it (with the champagne breakfast) to anyone.

Great experience enjoyed every moment .

We loved our hot air ballooning experience - thanks to all the friendly staff, especially our "pilot" Martin! He was lovely and had a great sense of humour! We felt very safe in this hands and it was fun being involved in the pre/post-flying tasks. Enjoyable champagne breakfast afterwards too! We will definitely recommend this to our friends =)

In addition the breakfast at the Lachlans of Old Government House is a high point for me as I enjoyed the food and the settings with the grape vines. Overall a very good morning.

A lovely experience - I am fearful of heights, however you felt quite safe in the basket and actually very relaxing. The whole experience of the setting up in the dark and seeing the gas burners light up the darkness, ballooning and landing (being able to walk inside the balloon as it was deflating) was an experience I thoroughly enjoyed. would do it again in a different area for sure. Also the breaky was very tasty indeed ( I had the vegetarian).
