Description
Ballooning at dawn in the Avon Valley, close to Perth. Enjoy the peaceful adventure of floating in the wind. This product INCLUDES shuttle transfer from Perth and back and also breakfast
Treat yourself to something special while in the Northam or Perth area. Embark on a sunrise hot air balloon ride and take in spectacular views of the Western Australian countryside. Enjoy breakfast to top off the experience.
About 3 hours before sunrise, you will be driven from the Crown Hotel main car park and we will drive you up to Notham in the Avon Valley. The trip is about 1 hour and 15 minutes. In Northam, you will meet the pilot and crew in the Dome Cafe. From here, you will jump into the vehicles to be driven to the chosen launch site for that day. Because balloons float in the wind, there are many different locations spread out around the valley to allow for the best flight the weather permits that day.
Inflation and preparation last approximately half an hour and when the balloon is ready, you can climb on board, and off the balloon goes to float in the wind for about an hour. Take in beautiful views of the waking countryside just as the sun starts shining above the horizon.
Ballooning is always magical: a gentle and peaceful adventure in which no one feels height sick. After the flight, the pilot will choose a suitable landing field and if you'd like, you can help in the pack up of this gentle giant. Head back to Northam for a well-deserved breakfast after the flight. Breakfast is at our original meeting location in the Dome Cafe, which is inside Farmers Home Hotel
Meeting times vary because we follow the sun. You will be advised the evening prior via SMS, so it is important we have your correct details, please. Meeting times can be as early as 02:30 am or as late as 04:30 AM, depending on the time of the year.
