Outback Ballooning has been operating in Alice Springs since 1986, and is one of Australia’s longest established ballooning companies. We operate everyday, weather permitting.
Our large fleet of balloons carrying from 2 to 24 passengers each, provides great booking flexibility. The reliable desert weather means we have one of the lowest cancellation rates in the world.
The Feeling in a Balloon
There is no turbulence or vibration as the balloon moves with the wind. With eyes closed it is impossible to tell that you are flying. It is no colder in the air than on the ground. It is a fact it is often warmer with the burners overhead and the balloon flies above the night time low level cold air temperature inversion.
Fear of heights is not generally a problem as the basket sides are high and secure and there is no vertical ‘face’ between the balloon and the ground. The sensation is similar to looking out of an aircraft window but it is much bigger with no glass!
Cancellations
If you cancel within 24 hours of departure, do not show up on the morning of the tour or suffer “cold feet” on the launch field you will not be given a refund
