Participate in the most ancient sport of floating in the wind. The Peaceful Adventure starts very early, 1 1/2 hours before sunrise, so the tour starts at different time depending on the season. You will be transported from the meeting location to one of the launch sites in the area.
Your flight will start just before the sun comes up to enjoy the most spectacular moment of the day.
Hot air balloons simply float in the wind, so your pilot will use the wind at different altitudes to direct the balloon to our best landing sites, which are scattered around the countryside.
You will experience fantastic views in this lovely area of Victoria. The Barrabool Hills, the ocean to the South, the bay lit by the morning rays of sun. The flight lasts approximately one hour but the whole experience will take approximately 3 to 4 hours with a complimentary glass of champagne on landing. Once we land, we pack the balloon away and we enjoy a beautiful “a la carte” breakfast at the Rydges.
