Hot Air Balloon Flight

Alice Springs

Overview

Highlights:

  • Enjoy a hot air balloon flight over the MacDonnell Ranges
  • Take in spectacular views of the Australian outback
  • Spot Red Kangaroos from above

Enjoy a hot air balloon flight over the outback. Get to know your friendly crew as you journey to the launch site in the cool pre-dawn darkness, then begin the ascent just as the morning light begins to illuminate the rugged MacDonnell Ranges. Float gently across the vast expanse of the Australian Outback, keeping your eyes peeled for native wildlife including the iconic red kangaroo as the balloon glides above the landscape. Once back on firm ground, take in desert tranquillity with some light refreshments.

Please note:

Passengers must be able to climb up and into the basket (there are foot holes) and stand for the duration of the flight (with secure high sides to lean on) as there are no seats in the basket.
