Retken kuvaus

Experience the breathtaking feeling of floating silently above the Outback as the sun slowly rises over the desert on this hot air ballooning adventure. Journey to the launch site in the cool pre dawn darkness and begin the ascent just as the morning light begins to illuminate the rugged MacDonnell Ranges. Float gently across the vast expanse of the Central Australian Outback – keeping an eye out for native wildlife including the iconic red kangaroo and gain an appreciation of the remoteness of the area as the balloon glides across the landscape.

The flight distance will typically be between 10 and 20 kilometres. The balloon flight takes place approximately 15 kilometres to the south of Alice Springs adjacent to the MacDonnell Ranges and over the historic Owen Springs Cattle Station.

After landing, you may become involved in assisting the crew as they pack the nylon balloon back in to its bag or may prefer to take photographs, the choice is yours. At the ballooning landing site, there is time to enjoy the desert tranquility as you're served light refreshments accompanied by sparkling wine and tropical fruit juice. There is an opportunity to purchase ballooning souvenirs and a commemorative flight certificate is given to all participants.

Depending on many operational factors, which vary each day, passengers may be on the ground or in the balloon when the sun is actually coming over the horizon or rising, either way you will still see an amazing dawn.
