Experience FAQs
Can I see Uluru from the balloon?
No, Uluru is about 450km from Alice Springs.
What will I see?
The drive takes place about 15 km south of Alice Springs, along the MacDonnell Ranges and via the historic Owen Springs Cattle Station. Enjoy the endless desert landscapes, the mountains in the distance and, if you’re lucky, kangaroos, birds, camels and other wildlife. Please note: We do not fly directly over the MacDonnell Ranges.
Do the flights take place at sunrise?
Yes, balloon flights in Australia start at dawn, as this offers the best weather conditions. Depending on the schedule, you can experience the sunrise directly from the balloon or from the ground – both are impressive.
How high does the balloon rise?
We usually fly within the first 300 meters above the ground. The exact altitude depends on the weather conditions in the morning.
Do I have to help pack the balloon?
Helping to pack up after landing is voluntary. It’s fun and we welcome support, but if you are physically challenged, you can also just watch and take photos. Please note that participation is at your own risk.
Will I get cold during the flight?
No, it’s not colder than on the ground. The burners can even make it a little warmer and as the balloon drifts with the wind, there is hardly any wind chill.
Are refreshments included?
Yes, after landing there is a glass of Australian sparkling wine or fruit juice as well as small snacks in the midst of the tranquillity of the desert. Special dietary requirements are possible on request.
I am afraid of heights - can I still fly with you?
Yes, ballooning feels very different to the view from a tall building. It’s calm, gentle and safe – you don’t have to look down, but can enjoy the view into the distance. The baskets are stable and about 1.20 m high. If you decide not to get in at the start, you can stay with the crew and follow the balloon from the ground until it lands again.
