Outback Ballooning Alice Springs

Bookings Freecall 1800 252 668

Your ballooning adventure begins in the cool pre dawn darkness as you are picked up from your accommodation in Alice Springs.

During the 15-minute drive to our desert launch site you will get to know the crew as they make final weather checks and explain the routine for the morning. At the launch site gas burners are used to inflate the balloons just as the sun lights up the rugged MacDonnell Ranges.

Once floating gently in the air you will appreciate the vast remoteness of the Australian Outback. Wildlife, particularly big red kangaroos are seen nearly every day as the balloon crosses spinifex grasses, mulga scrub and cattle stations.

After landing you may become involved in assisting the crew or taking photographs as we pack the nylon balloon back into its bag. In our outdoor setting you will be served sparkling wine and a breakfast. This is accompanied by sparkling wine and tropical fruit juice cocktails.

Between courses of honey glazed sesame chicken drumsticks, quiches, fruit baskets, cheese and chocolate cake you will have the opportunity to purchase photographs taken earlier in the morning. A large range of Outback Ballooning souvenirs are also available. Vegetarian and other dietary requirements should be notified at the time of booking.

Transfers back to your hotel, the airport or another tour, and a commemorative flight certificate completes your morning with Outback Ballooning.

Outback Ballooning provides a high quality, fun and totally safe ballooning experience, which may be enjoyed by people of all ages and physical abilities.

The setting over the remote desert, serviced only by a few bush tracks enhances the sense of adventure that you will experience. The location also ensures that you are treated to the spectacular colours of the early morning dawn over the MacDonnell Ranges. On most days you will also see Australian wildlife, particularly red kangaroos, in their natural environment.

All our flights are followed by a freshly cooked, hot four course sparkling wine breakfast. This is served at a desert campsite to complete the morning's experience before you are returned to your accommodation.
