Hot Air Ballooning over
Byron Bay

Join us for one of the most spectacular hot air ballooning rides over Byron Bay and surrounds and be among the first in Australia to witness the sunrise over Australia's most easterly point!

We have almost 20 different launch sites within a 50km radius of Byron Bay, in the Northern Rivers, individually chosen to give you the best possible flights for the prevailing wind direction. As the sun's first rays lighten the skies, the balloon swells, slowly taking its form.

Silently, you feel weightless as you float off into the drifting wind. Byron Bay and the endless blue ocean are to the east, and the spectacular Mount Warning massive caldera dominating the horizon to the north.

After landing in a farmer's field, relax and enjoy the early morning atmosphere over a complimentary glass of chilled champagne, or join us for a gourmet breakfast at the five star guesthouse, rounding off a fabulous morning (additional cost of $25 to be paid on the day).

Your hot air ballooning experience is an adventure that you will be talking about far into the future. Get on board for an experience of a lifetime! Byron Bay (Far Nth Coast / Byron - New South Wales).
