Half Day Hot Air Balloon Trip

You will be collected very early at your hotel/lodge in Hazyview / White River area, and transferred to the launch site. You will be offered tea, coffee and biscuits and have a chance to take pictures of the preparation of the balloon for flight. The oldest form of flying, ballooning is seen as a graceful and romantic way to look down on the earth. Moving along at wind speed the balloon is part of the climate of the day and the ride is calm – the view of things earthbound surprisingly detailed. The flight is a scenic experience and the view from above shows old structures and differences in terrain not visible from ground level. The wraparound view of the earth and sky can be experienced in no other way. The flight will last approximately one hour, and on landing you will be served excellent Cape wine in the champagne ballooning tradition. After the flight passengers join the pilot for breakfast at a country lodge, and for the presentation of flight certificates.
