Alice Springs Resort
Hot Air Ballooning over Alice Springs
An exhilarating way to see the outback! Take to the skies for a bird's eye view of the magnificent McDonnell Ranges in the total freedom of a Hot Air Balloon.
Your morning begins before dawn. Soaring over the terrain you will be overcome by the awesome and vast landscape which stretches out endlessly underneath.
Watch the kangaroos bounce and speed their way on their journeys, gaze up to the swirling eagles and cruise over the peaks of the ancient MacDonnell Ranges.
One and a half hours before sunrise you will be collected in climate controlled comfortable vehicles from Alice Springs Resort. You are then driven to the launch site, which is determined on the morning depending on the wind direction.
Once at the launch site the balloons are rolled out and attached to the basket. Take off is usually just as the dawn breaks.
Your ballooning adventure begins alongside the MacDonnell Ranges. In the air you drift over the rugged landscape of the Ranges, spotting Australian wildlife - a kangaroo or wallaby, budgerigars, parrots, galahs or cockatoos.
After your flight, toast your morning experience with a hearty breakfast. This buffet breakfast includes freshly baked marinated chicken, fresh croissants with ham & cheese, freshly baked Outback damper, with honey & jam, fresh fruit platter, cheese platter, blueberry muffins and all with an assortment of fresh juices, tea & coffee, not to forget a glass of sparkling wine to toast your success with! Vegetarians are catered for on request.
You are then transferred back to your hotel.
