There are few things more mesmerising than silently floating above the Australian outback on a hot air balloon.

Get the chance to experience this luxury for yourself as you take to the skies of Australia's great Red Centre, on this 30 minute or 60 minute flight departing Alice Springs.

With complimentary pickups from your Alice Springs accommodation, early departure times between 4:15am and 5:45am will ensure you catch the breathtaking early morning views, and make the early alarm all the more worth it!

From there, your friendly and knowledgeable guide will drive you to your launch site, approximately 15km south of Alice Springs, where you will board your hot air balloon. Ascend slowly just as the morning light begins to illuminate the rugged MacDonnel Ranges.

Float over the expansive terrain of the Central Australian Outback, being sure to look out for wildlife along the way. You may have the opportunity to spot red kangaroos, wild camels, native birds and other creatures. Flight distance will typically range between 10km and 20km depending on weather conditions on the day.

Then, prepare to make your descent back to land. For those looking for a more hands-on experience, once you're back on the ground, you can help assist the crew in packing the balloon back into its bag. Otherwise, relax and enjoy a bit of free time to take photographs of the beautiful surrounding landscape. You will also have some time to enjoy a glass of sparkling Australian wine or fruit juice, accompanied by a small selection of individually wrapped snacks. If you'd like a memento to remember your journey, an assortment of ballooning souvenirs will be available for purchase. All participants will also go home with their very own commemorative flight certificate!

Once you've finished your refreshments and taken your photos, you will be transferred back to your Alice Springs accommodation.
