What you can expect
Reach exciting new heights with a hot air ballooning flight over the Hunter Valley, Australia’s oldest wine region. Nothing compares to the feeling of taking off and soaring high above the ground as the rising sun lets you know the day is officially beginning.
Your hot air ballooning adventure takes place over the spectacular Hunter Valley region of New South Wales just 120 km north of Sydney. On the morning of your hot air balloon ride, you'll arrive bright and early and be taken through a safety briefing. Then your ballooning adventure really begins! You'll be in the air in no time; one moment you'll be just a few feet above the trees, and the next you'll be thousands of feet up looking down on the valley below. Enjoy the scenic views of the vineyards, mountain ranges and local wildlife as you float through the valley watching the sunrise.
Following your flight of approximately one hour, all passengers return to the Rydges Resort Hunter Valley where you'll enjoy a champagne breakfast to toast your flight.
