More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You lift off at first light and the valley exhales below you: the Avon River threads silver through patchwork paddocks while early mist peels from low ridges. The balloon rises with a measured hush—no engines, just the occasional whoosh of the burner—so the view feels private even when shared with others.

Layer for temperature swings

Meet-up often requires travel to a launch field; allow extra travel time and confirm the meeting point the night before.

Crew will instruct where to stand during inflation, how to brace for landing and where to board—obeying them keeps everyone safe.
