Outback Ballooning

From $350-430

per person

Overview

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.

Highlight

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!

Inclusions

  • Complimentary transfers to and from your accommodation included with every flight
  • You will be with us for approximately 4 hours depending upon where we land. Flight distance will typically be between 10 and 20 kilometres. The balloon flight takes place approximately 15 kilometres to the south of Alice Springs adjacent to the MacDonnell Ranges and over the historic Owen Springs Cattle Station
  • Refreshment – After landing, Outback Ballooning has designed its program to allow you a unique opportunity to experience the Australian bush. Most of our landings are in the desert kilometres away from the nearest road. There is no traffic, no other people and no noise. The perfect place to enjoy a glass of sparkling Australian wine or fruit juice accompanied by a small selection of individually wrapped snacks before re-boarding the bus to return to “town”
