Hunter Valley Balloon Flight – 1 Hr Sunrise Flight with Gourmet Champagne Breakfast

Awaken early and arrive at the launch site in the heart of Pokolbin to watch the magnificent hot air balloons inflate against the glowing dawn sky. Climb aboard the basket and gently lift off just as the sun begins to crest over the horizon. For 45 to 60 minutes, you will drift silently and smoothly with the morning breeze, experiencing a profound sense of peace and weightlessness high above the ground.

 Breathtaking Panoramas of Vineyards and Ranges

As you ascend up to 2,000 feet or higher, enjoy unobstructed bird's-eye views of Australia's premier wine region. Look down upon endless rows of lush vineyards growing world-famous Semillon, Shiraz, and Chardonnay grapes, winding country lanes, pristine national parks, and distant mountain ranges. It is an exceptional photography opportunity capturing nature and viticulture blending seamlessly in the early morning light.

Your flight is managed entirely by highly trained, Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) commercial pilot licence holders who offer live commentary and point out notable geographic landmarks throughout the journey.
