Hunter Valley Balloon Flights
Multi-award-winning Balloon Aloft has been ballooning in the Hunter Valley since 1980. Located just two hours north of Sydney and forty-five minutes from Newcastle, the Hunter Valley – Australia’s premier vineyard region – offers the perfect backdrop for the flight of a lifetime.
Hunter Valley balloon flights begin at sunrise and take in views of the picturesque wine regions of Pokolbin, Lovedale, Rothbury or Broke. Balloon flights last approximately one hour and are followed by a delicious gourmet breakfast and champagne celebration at the famous Peterson House winery and Restaurant.
Can cater the daily sunrise balloon flights for individuals, corporate groups or intimate VIP flights.
Hunter Valley Accessible Flights
Balloon Aloft Accessible flights are designed for anyone who wants to experience the joy of hot air ballooning but who, for any reason, is not able to climb aboard a regular hot air balloon basket using the footholds cut into the side of the basket or stand for the one-hour duration of the flight.
