Hunter Valley Hot Air Ballooning
Hunter Valley Balloon Flights
Floating over vineyards and morning mist at sunrise, then enjoying a champagne breakfast after landing: the Hunter Valley's most iconic experience.
The Hunter Valley is one of the most concentrated hot-air ballooning regions in Australia. Balloon companies usually gather in the early hours around Pokolbin, take off at sunrise and fly for about an hour. From several hundred metres up, you'll see vineyards, morning mist and the distant Brokenback Range. After landing, you can opt for a breakfast that includes sparkling wine.
The cost is several hundred Australian dollars per person. Advance booking is required, and flights are rescheduled in strong wind or rain.
Autumn and winter mornings are chilly, so bring a warm jacket.
