Yes, you are certainly welcome to bring a selfie-stick on your hot air balloon flight, with a few key considerations for safety and convenience:

Retractable Design: Ensure that your selfie-stick is retractable. This feature allows for easier handling and storage. It doesn’t have to be small enough to be fully pocket-sized, but it should retract sufficiently to not cause any inconvenience or safety issues, particularly during landing.

Stowable for Landing: While your selfie-stick does not need to fit completely inside a pocket, it should be able to retract enough to be stowed away safely for landing. If it can't be fully pocketed, it should at least not protrude significantly so as to ensure safety and prevent any potential hazards.

Consideration for Other Passengers: Please be considerate of other passengers when using your selfie-stick. It’s important that it doesn’t interfere with their space or enjoyment of the flight. Respectful and mindful use ensures a pleasant experience for everyone aboard.

Enjoy capturing the breathtaking views from the balloon, and remember that safety and the comfort of fellow passengers are paramount. Have a fantastic flight!

Heartiest congratulations on your upcoming bundle of joy! We're thrilled to have you consider a magical journey with us through the clouds.

As per the tour operators' Terms and Conditions, you're more than welcome to join them on a hot air balloon flight if you are less than 13 weeks pregnant. This can be a wonderful way to celebrate and remember this special time in your life.

However, for those who are 13 weeks pregnant or more, they're unable to accommodate you on their flights due to safety considerations.

Regardless of your pregnancy stage, we strongly encourage that you consult with your doctor before making a reservation with us. Every pregnancy is unique, and your and your baby's health and safety are of the utmost importance to us.

It is your responsibility to seek this medical advice and adhere to the terms and conditions, always prioritizing your wellbeing.

When the timing is perfect, the tour operator will eagerly await the chance to provide you with an unforgettable ballooning experience. Wishing you the most beautiful journey ahead, both in the skies and into motherhood!

There are no weight restrictions for the flights but we do ask that anyone over 100kg advises at the time of booking to assist the tour operator with their flight allocations. 

We recommend you you wear casual comfortable layered clothing and flat enclosed shoes on the day of your flight, also you can wear a hat and sunglasses. White clothing is not recommended. Please keep in mind that the basket is 1.2mts in height with two footholds in the side to use as a step ladder to climb into and out of the basket.

The minimum age for participating in a hot air balloon ride is 3yrs old. Children between 3yrs and 5yrs require proof of age with either a picture of their passport or birth certificate to show the driver on the morning. 

Unfortunately we cannot accomodate for wheelchair access as all passengers must climb into the 1.2m basket unassisted and stand for the whole duration of the flight. It is a safety requirement by CASA in case of an emergency. 

Hot air balloons certainly do more than just ascend and descend! While their movement is dictated by the wind, balloons typically travel between 4 to 7 kilometers during a flight. The exact distance and direction vary with each day's unique weather conditions, making every balloon journey a one-of-a-kind experience. Remember, the true magic of ballooning is its unpredictability - you never quite know where you'll end up, adding to the sense of adventure.

At our vineyard breakfast you will receive a complimentary glass of sparkling wine and can enjoy a three course buffet breakfast. We have hot and cold options as well as cater for vegetarians and other requests if you tell us when you book. The breakfast is at the beautiful O'Reilly's Vineyard and you can enjoy and explore their grounds after your breakfast.
