About Byron Bay Ballooning
Based right here in the Byron Bay region, Byron Bay Ballooning has been offering spectacular sunrise balloon flights since 2005.
Our sunrise balloon flights launch daily to take in amazing views of Byron Bay and the surrounding regions. No two mornings are exactly the same; you could be taking in stunning views of the ocean or the hinterland, Mount Warning or the surrounding areas of Bangalow, Mullumbimby, Nimbin or Lismore.
Byron Bay Ballooning rides last for approximately 1 hour and your entire morning's adventure, including the Celebration Breakfast at the Three Blue Ducks Restaurant, The Farm usually lasts approximately 3.5 - 4 hours.
Arrival
Meet with your Pilot and Flight Team at The Farm Byron Bay approximately 60 - 120 minutes before sunrise. Listen to a Flight Briefing from your pilot before boarding our bus to head out for the morning's chosen launch site.
Launch Site
At the launch site you will be shown a safety demonstration then watch the balloons being inflated and prepared for launch.
Pre-Flight
Using the ladder steps on the sides of the basket, you can climb aboard, then enjoy the ride as your balloon slowly climbs in to the sky.
The Flight
Enjoy a 45 - 60 minute flight. You are welcome to bring your camera or phone to capture photos of the stunning views you 'll see floating thousands of feet above the Byron Bay region.
Landing and Pack-up
As your balloon approaches the landing site, you will be asked to adopt the landing position with your knees bent. Upon landing your balloon basket may remain in the upright position or tip over on to its side, depending on wind conditions. Both sorts of landing are completely normal and are entertaining for all. Once the balloon has landed, our ground team will take you inside the balloon for photos, if conditions allow, and then it’s time to pack the balloon away. Feel free to assist as we squeeze the air from the balloon fabric & pack the balloon away or stand back and watch all the fun.
