- The meeting place is in the foyer of Canberra´s premier five-star hotel, The Park Hyatt, which is located on Commonwealth Avenue, Yarralumla, just two minutes from Parliament House. meeting time varies throughout the year and will be advised when you book your flight. Departure time is early morning as the sun fills the valley and lakes with soft morning light. Meeting of passengers will be approximately half an hour before sunrise. The adventure begins with a short trip to your launch site determined by the pilots and depends on the wind direction on the morning. There is over a dozen launch sites to choose from all around Canberra. A good opportunity to get to know the pilot and crew and ask any questions. It takes around 20-25 minutes for the balloon to be inflated and standing upright ready for boarding. Guests are welcome to help with the setup of the balloon or simply stand back and take photos as your aircraft takes shape and comes to life. As the new day dawns, you will ascend into the sky in your colourful balloon. Balloon will float gently along with the breeze, whilst in the basket guests will feel completely secure with very little sensation of movement. During the flight guests may find themselves drifting just above the treetops then moments later effortlessly ascending to heights of 3000 feet or more. The flight time is approximately 45-60 minutes, however, please allow 3-4 hours for the total tour time. An optional full buffet breakfast at the Hyatt is available after the flight. Request for guests to allow an extra hour if they decide to stay for breakfast. All flights are weather dependant. Should the flight be cancelled due to unsuitable conditions guests can either rebook flight or request a refund. The excitement of the morning continues over a champagne celebration back at landing site. Relax and enjoy a glass of champagne with fellow passengers and pilot as everyone celebrate one of the most exhilarating mornings of life.~~~~ |
