Outback Ballooning
Product description
Outback Ballooning has been delivering unforgettable hot air balloon experiences over Alice Springs since 1986. As a locally owned and operated business, there is a deep connection to the region and a passion for showcasing the beauty of the Red Centre.
Imagine the breathtaking feeling of floating silently above the outback as the sun slowly rises over the desert on your awe-inspiring ballooning adventure. Your ascent begins in predawn darkness, just as the morning light begins to illuminate the rugged MacDonnell Ranges. Remember to keep an eye out for native wildlife including the iconic red kangaroo whilst you gain an appreciation of the remoteness of the area as you glide across the landscape.
There will be time to enjoy the desert tranquility as light refreshments accompanied by sparkling wine and fruit juice are served.
Return transfers are included. Some exclusions apply.
Pick up time is 1 hour before first light, which varies throughout the year.
They operate everyday, and have a large fleet of balloons suitable for 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 people in one balloon depending on number of bookings for the day. Private charters are available on request and are perfect for honeymooners wanting a romantic experience!
Hot air ballooning is a weather dependant activity. The reliable desert weather means one of the lowest cancellation rates in the world.
