Balloon Aloft fulfilled a life-long dream to fly in a hot-air balloon – an 80th birthday gift for Mum and great fun for the rest of us. Thank you to Mike for an exhilarating flight and a thistledown landing. The whole experience with Balloon Aloft was outstanding, from my first tentative enquiries about taking my elderly parents ballooning, to the... More

This morning couldn't have gone better. Not only was the hot air balloon ride a wonderful experience I'll never forget, but the services of the staff made my experience something truly spectacular. Our guide and balloon navigator was friendly, down-to-earth and very experienced-- I was impressed by the way he helped the elderly people on our flight, and took extra... More

Highly recommend this experience. It’s truly enjoyable with great facilities and professional crew. Flight was very pleasant. Mike, pilot in command, is clearly very passionate about his profession. He passes as much information about the flight to patrons as possible. No doubt, we’ll try to book another flight soon! Thank you.

We recently went on a balloon aloft adventure over the Camden valley after I received a voucher for Christmas. It was extremely well organised from the check-in the night prior to the champagne breakfast served at Barenz after the flight. Mike, Deano and the rest of the team made me feel safe throughout the experience and all were highly professional,... More

The experience makes the early start worthwhile. My family bought me a balloon ride as a birthday present. We booked into Camden for the ride, arriving at 4:45am. After a brief discussion of what to expect, we were driven to the paddock where the balloon was inflated. This was my first time, and after the first 20 minutes, I was... More

It was so worth setting the alarm for 3.30am! Our meeting time at Camden was 4.30am and after the initial briefing we were driven to our balloon departure spot. It was wonderful to watch the balloon being unpacked and inflated prior to our trip. Our balloonist was Mike and he was totally amazing. He explained how the balloon worked and... More

We did a balloon flight in the hunter vally. Balloon Aloft was fantastic - from the moment we arrived the staff were friendly, so well organised, and made the experience special. The flight itself was so calm, and beautiful, and the driver gave us a fantastic flight. The breakfast after at Petersons champagne house was all prepared for us to... More
