    Hot air balloon over Canberra with Balloon Aloft

    Maria 18 May 2025

    Such a peaceful morning floating over the autumn colours of Canberra! The pilot, Kim, was very knowledgeable and entertaining and the ground crew were friendly and helpful. Helping to pack up the balloon was unexpected but a great experience. I particularly enjoyed walking inside the balloon before pack-up….so much bigger than I expected. Overall, a great morning.

    The view from our hot air was breath taking.

    The crews are really nice, funny and helpful. Our pilot Kim is amazing. He make sure we had fun while riding the balloon. The view is breathtaking. Such beautiful scenery. My favourite part is the landing where everyone work as a team. Also the best part being to be able to explore the inside of the hot air balloon.

    Ballooning experience with RedBalloon

    Alex 8 April 2022

    We did like our balloon experience. It was nice to fly over the parliamentary triangle and on to Weston and see the views around us. Unfortunately our balloon ride was much too short timewise, lasting only 35 minutes in the air. The other balloon that lifted off with us just kept going and they would have seen so much more, enhancing their experience.

    A perfectly calm flight across the Canberra sky

    Alex 6 April 2022

    An amazing experience, from the setting up to floating across the Canberra sky and the breathtaking view below to being hands on in the packing away process and walking through the balloon, the whole morning was incredible. Highly recommended for locals looking for a new perspective and an unbeatable view of the city for visitors.

    It is a beautiful experience but I would have liked more time with the experience. Our balloon didn't have much air time in comparison to the other balloon which flew at the same time. Having that comparison left me a little bit disappointed.

    What a great experience

    My husband and I couldn’t believe how beautiful Canberra was up there such a fantastic time 10 out of 10

    Scenic, Skilled and Social

    Kim and his crew were informative and guided us well in the whole process. We got to assist with the Setup and pack up all of which just made the whole Experience a lot of fun. we met new people and shared a champers with them at the end. Even heard the story about why champagne is associated with ballooning, and how French farmers would believe balloons to be bad spirits from the sky. Kim did a pin point perfect landing in a very small spot and didn’t damage any tree even though we were surrounded by them. The landing was light and well executed. Good job Kim!

    An amazing experience

    Len 17 March 2020

    My 3 children gave me a gift voucher for my 80th birthday. My wife accompanied me on the balloon flight. We found it to be a most amazing experience. We were both highly impressed with the professionalism of Kim, our pilot. His safety talks were clear and relevant. During the flight he pointed out features of interest and was only too willing to answer any questions regarding ballooning. The opportunity to assist in the pre-flight and post-flight preparations of the balloon were also fun and very interesting. Many thanks also to the ground crew Eric and Brendan, who were vital members of the crew.
