Imagine drifting gently, high above the Australian Outback taking in the amazing red earth scenery, green national parks and the most iconic of them all Ayers Rock (Uluru).
Rising VERY early, be collected from Alice Springs where your journey begins. Along the way your guide will show you all of the beautiful and interesting sights. Then at the launch site watch as the burners inflate the balloon ready for your flight. Climbing inside the basket, feel the excitement wash over you as you gently rise above the ground and embark on your scenic flight. You will fully appreciate the absolute remoteness of the Australian Outback. Spot wildlife including mobs of Red Kangaroos, cattle stations, scrub, bushland and the true vastness of the region. Your guide will point out all of the important parts to ensure you don’t miss a thing – so be sure to bring your camera (not forgetting batteries or to charge it before go).
Not interested in flying in a balloon but your friends want to? Well why not choose the  ‘Balloon Chaser’ option where you can join the crew on the ground in their Ballooning vehicle as they ‘chase’ the balloons and greet them on landing.
As the balloon slowly descends the light refreshments will be a welcome treat to end your experience. Enjoy a glass of champagne or juice and along with a selection of muesli biscuits, exotic slices, cheese and fresh fruit and given the opportunity to purchase photographs taken earlier in the morning.
This truly is a unique and beautiful way to see one of the most remote areas in Australia. Flights are available for 30 minute or 60 minute durations and prices start from $265 for Adults and $212 for Children.
