Balloon Flight Over Melbourne Including Breakfast Description: As one of Melbourne`s premier adventure tour operators, we would love to share with you the stunning panoramic views that our beautiful city has to offer from the air. You will see Melbourne by balloon and enjoy the adventure of a lifetime with Melbourne`s most experienced hot air ballooning team. We require you to call the night prior to your flight to reconfirm. Chris, your pilot will take this opportunity to speak with you and discuss what to expect the next morning and will also clarify your wake up and meeting times for the morning along with a weather forecast prepared by the aviation department at the weather bureau. On the morning of your flight, we will make the final decision to fly. We will only call you out if the weather is favorable for a balloon flight. We meet in the Royal Botanic Gardens on Birdwood Avenue close to the Shrine of Remembrance one hour prior to sunrise. Hot air balloons travel with the wind so much of our navigating actually takes place prior to take off. With Chris` wealth of local knowledge and experience in Melbourne, careful consideration will be taken for our choice of take off site. We then leave as a group to the launch site by mini bus to one of Melbourne`s many parks to inflate the balloon ready for take off. With flight preparation, the choice is yours, roll up your sleeves and help prepare the balloon for flight or sit back and enjoy the spectacle as Chris fires up the balloon. Either way it`s great fun. The excitement builds and anticipation mounts as the time draws closer to a sunrise lift off. Get ready for take off...It`s time to climb aboard the wicker basket under instruction from pilot and ground crew. Chris will provide a full passenger safety briefing at this time as to what to expect throughout the flight and landing. With a burst of flame from the burners it`s up, up and away! Sunrise is flight time. The balloon will climb slowly to cruising altitude; you will drift silently with the wind a...

"Hot Air Ballooning - Bendigo" from: AUD$208.00
GoDo
Hot Air Ballooning - Bendigo Description: Meeting for your hot air balloon ride as the sun peeps over the horizon is just one of the great joys of ballooning. Even when the clouds hide the sun, the experience is lovely. Mystical even and ethereal. We can also do things that can`t be done in other types of aircraft. Low-flying at low speed, for example, talking and joking sometimes with people on the ground, seeing wildlife close-up, and high-flying for uninterrupted 360° views. Furthermore, apart from perhaps a little rocking and rolling before take-off, your flight will be smooth. You won`t get tossed around in the air, and you won`t get air-sick. Guaranteed. Depending on wind speed, we fly up to about 30km in an hour and almost never back to where we took off from. To save a long walk back, our crew follow us with balloon trailers, help us pack up and take us to breakfast. Do we ever get lost? Well, sometimes, but because our pilots and crew carry detailed topographic maps, VHF and UHF radios, mobile phones and global positioning units (GPS), staying together is generally straight-forward. All our outings include sparkling wine, Belgian chocolates, orange juice and nibbles followed by cooked breakfast when we get back to town. During colder months, you`ll enjoy piping hot coffee, tea and - or mulled wine before breakfast. After your flight, you`ll also receive a superb full-colour personalised flight certificate to prove to the world that, yes, you really did go hot air ballooning....
