The supplier has a large fleet of balloons suitable for 2-4 people, up to 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 people in one balloon depending on number of bookings on the day.

Balloons fly within 1000ft above the ground level. The weather will determine how high balloons fly on the morning.

Outdoor clothing (preferably not white if you want it to stay that way), long pants and hat or cap are recommended. Enclosed flat heel shoes are essential. Because it can be cool before sunrise, layers are advised. Loose items such as dangling jewellery and scarves are not permitted once passengers reach the launch site.

Yes. The minimum age recommended is 6 years old. 

We can take children aged between 3-5 years, however we don’t personally recommend it, because of these reasons:

• Children under 6 generally can’t see over the side of basket (1.2 metres high) although they can look through foot holes
• The noise of the burners or the fire itself can scare young children, we recommend earplugs
• Children cannot be lifted, carried or in a carrier during the flight. Everyone must have feet on the floor  

As long as you have considered this information and think your 3 and 4 year old will enjoy the experience, then we are happy to have your child on board.

Standard children’s pricing applies.

Civil Aviation Safety Authority Insurance charge of $30 is included in the price you are paying, and applies to all passengers regardless of age.
