Frequently Asked Questions
Balloons fly within 1000ft above the ground level. The weather will determine how high balloons fly on the morning.
Outdoor clothing (preferably not white if you want it to stay that way), long pants and hat or cap are recommended. Enclosed flat heel shoes are essential. Because it can be cool before sunrise, layers are advised. Loose items such as dangling jewellery and scarves are not permitted once passengers reach the launch site.
Yes. The minimum age recommended is 6 years old.
We can take children aged between 3-5 years, however we don’t personally recommend it, because of these reasons:
- Children under 6 generally can’t see over the side of basket (1.2 metres high) although they can look through foot holes
- The noise of the burners or the fire itself can scare young children, we recommend earplugs
- Children cannot be lifted, carried or in a carrier during the flight. Everyone must have feet on the floor
As long as you have considered this information and think your 3 and 4 year old will enjoy the experience, then we are happy to have your child on board.
Standard children’s pricing applies.
Civil Aviation Safety Authority Insurance charge of $30 is included in the price you are paying, and applies to all passengers regardless of age.

Fabulous adventure! Nathan was enthusiastic and on time for our pick up. We were able to view the set up of the balloon and the journey by Duncan our pilot was great! Really enjoyed John's banter afterwards and the champagne/snacks did not feel rushed. Must do! Thanks Outback Ballooning for letting me tick this one off my bucket list!

The flight didn't go ahead due to wind - completely understandable, that's just a thing that may happen with a hot air balloon. Backpackers deals sent me a form to fill out to get a refund but since I have heard nothing and haven't been sent a refund so not overly impressed with that.

This was a thrill of a lifetime for both Of us, from the blowing up of the balloon, heating up the air inside, stepping on board with careful assistance when needed, to the ascending with our professional pilot as the the sun began to rise revealing majestic views all around us. Our pilot covered most of the scenery which was great for us as uninitiated Kiwis. Great crew all round, especially John, who of of the two ground crew really enjoyed making us laugh ... plus a breakfast treat!

I’m terrified by heights but the view and breeze were just way too nice to even think about it. We didn’t get to see any kangaroos unfortunately, and the flames for the balloon were surprisingly hotter than expected so my hair felt like it was about to go up in flames. I suggest covering your head for anyone who is a first timer, a cap, beanie, or hood. We took so many photos and videos and also just stayed in the moment. The staff were great too. If they read this, thank you.
