DESCRIPTION
Hit this Barossa Valley hot air balloon ride, you’ll soar over this beautiful and verdant region of South Australia, taking in wonderful views from above on an aerial adventure that includes one hour of flight time, wine tasting and a gourmet breakfast. Long one of Australia’s most popular spots for hot air ballooning, the Barossa Valley’s landscape features rolling fields, expansive vineyards and a patchwork tapestry of farmland that make for a picturesque spot to take in by air. On this balloon ride you’ll join your friendly and experienced balloon pilots to gain the ultimate vantage point on the region. Take part in a safety briefing, then hop in the basket and ascend gently into the skies as the balloon lifts you into the air and your pilot provides interesting and detailed commentary on the Barossa’s many scenic and historic highlights.
Be sure to bring your camera because as you float serenely through the sky you’ll have some spectacular photo opportunities of the landscape below and of the 360° panorama that stretches out around you in all directions illuminated by the glow of the sunrise. Upon landing, you’ll be taken to enjoy a delicious gourmet breakfast back at home base, where you can sip sparkling wine and indulge in the best Barossa produce, while chatting with your fellow passengers about the mornings events. This comprehensive ballooning tour is excellent value and also includes complimentary transfers from Barossa accommodation, so check an item off your South Australian travel bucket list and book a balloon ride online today.
