What you can expect
This one hour flight provides a purely tranquil outdoor experience as the still morning air provides perfect conditions for an **Alice Springs hot air balloon** ride over the iconic Australian outback. The gloriously peaceful atmosphere contrasts with the outstanding reds and strong ochre hues of the landscape that extends from below out to as far as the eye can see. The MacDonnell Ranges offer a rugged backdrop that are a huge part of the character of the region and their peaks and valleys serve only to further accentuate the dynamics of the land.
The flight will begin with a briefing by the experienced pilot before heading to the launch site, and around 30 minutes later you will be floating gracefully over the countryside. The flight is followed by refreshments amongst the Aussie bush after landing with an array of foods and refreshments such as sparkling wine, tropical fruit juices, muffins, slices, biscuits, cheeses and fresh fruits to quench your thirst and satisfy your hunger. Be sure to take the chance to pose for some pictures before returning to your accommodation!

Best way to see the outback! A must-do in Alice Springs!
From pick-up to drop-off, the experience was great. The Hot Air Balloon flight itself was beautiful and an incredible way to see the Australian outback. We felt relaxed and entirely safe the entire time. Thank you to our pilots, Duncan and Marc, who made the experience especially good!

An amazing experience
An amazing experience. What a great way to see the Australian outback. I loved that we were included in the whole process from setting up to packing up. The champagne breakfast topped off an awesome morning.
