DESCRIPTION
Enjoy the spectacular views from a balloon basket and experience this ancient sport. Meeting in Geelong and with a flying area that encompasses the beginning of The Great Ocean Road surrounds, many of our flights in the area have spectacular views of the bay and the ocean to the south. If we need to be a little more conservative because of the wind direction that morning, we still choose launch locations to try to give you the best views at sunrise that the day can offer. Geelong City Council has come on board with us and has allowed us to use many of the city parks for taking off and landing…this allows us some spectacular flights over the city on many days. Due to its proximity to the bay and Avalon Airport, some flights will be out to the West and North, like Bannockburn and Murgheboluc. Wherever we fly, you will enjoy spectacular views of the region in the early morning light.
At Liberty Balloon Flights we give you the finest experience of free flight in a balloon in the whole of Australia, hands down. View the sun rise over the horizon with pilots who are the first operators in the area. We fly higher than any other operation in the country to give you the best views and no, you WILL NOT feel height sick. This is the full experience of a balloon flight with the personalised service only small groups can receive. Breathtaking views and safety assured with pilots who have been flying for over 30 years, not only in Geelong but also up and down The Andes, Patagonia, Mexico, the UK and many countries and cities around the world, including and for many years, Melbourne. We like adventure and we make it SAFE. We call this “The Peaceful Adventure”. Views across the Barrabool Hills, Port Phillip Bay to the East and the Bellarine Peninsula and the Ocean to the South in a morning you will never forget. Participate in the oldest form of aviation, a hot air balloon flight. Champagne breakfast at the Rydges Hotel after the flight is on us!
