“I found this a most relaxing and yet exhilarating way to start your day. What a fantastic and fun activity, I highly recommend doing a balloon ride if you haven’t done this before. C.J. kept us entertained and educated as we glided over the countryside pointing out various landmarks and other points of interest. Wayne cracked the jokes in the bus on the way there and back which help to keep us awake first thing in the morning. Jarrod helped make the setup and pack up done with ease. Great fun with a great team.”
“Awesome experience from start to finish. The detailed explanation of what was happening made us feel safe and comfortable. The whole crew were so friendly and accomodating. The breakfast was a nice finishing touch. Highly recommended.”
“From start to finish our hot air ballooning experience was magical. I took my daughter for her 11th birthday and she was pretty nervous beforehand, but the moment we climbed into the basket and lifted off the ground, she was completely delighted and mesmerised by the beauty, the peacefulness and the spectacular views. The pilot and crew were great, we felt completely at ease with them and they made the whole experience really fun. And the brekky afterwards was delicious!”

“What a fabulous experience!!! Thanks to Andrew our wonderful pilot from Balloon Aloft Mudgee for providing an amazing flight over Mudgee – our home town! Andrew and his team are very professional, punctual and knowledgeable.

“Amazing VIP balloon flight! My husband marked our 10th wedding anniversary with a Hunter Valley VIP balloon flight for just the two of us. It was our first taste of ballooning. Our pilot, Jacob, was so friendly and professional, plus he took some awesome shots on the Go Pro. The experience was both exhilarating and peaceful, and certainly lived up to our high expectations for the special occasion.”

“Great experience, Graham and Sam true professionals made us part of the team from the start. Had a great group in the basket, were only 8 on our ride plus Captain Graham who was happy to answer questions and pointed things out as we cruised.”
“I had the pleasure of flying with Balloon Aloft on a beautiful hunter valley morning. The team were very professional and made sure everyone felt welcomed and comfortable. Our pilot, Clay, was very highly skilled and catered for everyones ambitions. There was a lady on board who was scared of heights and he did a great job of keeping her light hearted and calm. Our ground crew, Matt and Paul were great! Very funny and professional. Breakfast at Petersons was amazing! Truly gourmet breakfast with wine tasting 🙂 . Would highly recommend the experience to any locals or travellers who want an unforgettable morning 10/10”
“Absolutely fantastic experience. Couldn’t be happier. Graeme and Sam were both wonderful and we will definitely be back for another go next year. Thank you so much Balloon Aloft for giving us such a memorable balloon ride! For anyone not sure about the whole height thing… Forget about it! I was really worried and only went because my hubby wanted to go, but as soon as we hopped in the basket I felt completely safe and just enjoyed the ride! Oh and the breakfast at Peterson’s was delicious too!”
“Not usually early risers, we found the whole experience awesome. Right from the first minute of meeting Clay and Sam, we relaxed and soaked up the atmosphere that was created by their professionalism and knowledgeable manner. Our ride was exceptionally smooth and we covered a very large area of the Hunter Valley. A little apprehensive re height, once up it was sheer magic. Our landing was amazing and our breakfast first class food at Petersens. Thanks you guys, one of our wishes have come true and you have made it all the more amazing.”
“We just came back from hot air ballooning with Baloons a loft and I can’t wait to write for these amazing people. From start to finish it was perfect. The punctuality, the attention to detail, the service, the commitment is outstanding and we are people hard to get impressed. The service after the ballooning with an excellent champagne breakfast was also a perfect finish of the morning. Think no other! A must have to do.”
“Could not wait to take this flight and I was not disappointed in fact when we touched down I wanted to go up again. Matt and the crew were so helpful and funny. The views were breathtaking the flight so smooth you didn’t feel as if you were moving. I would encourage everyone to take this or any other balloon flight that Balloon Aloft offer you will not regret it. A birthday present I will never forget.Thank you to all. “
“Who knew you could walk inside the actual balloon? Yes, this was everything you would expect from ballooning … drifting over vineyards, paddocks, cattle and kangaroos as the sun steadily rose. Picturesque mountain range in background was a photographer’s delight. But even the setting up and packing up experience was fun and interesting and we walked inside our balloon as it was deflating on the ground. Although I’m scared of heights this experience was not scary so for anyone for whom this is a concern don’t worry. Big shout out to Norman of the ground crew who was a real character. Breakfast after the flight was excellent.”
“This morning we went ballooning taking off at Lovedale and landing in the heart of the valley. We had an amazing time and our crew Sam was wonderful and accommodated to all of our needs and had exceptional customer service and a great attitude towards his job and fellow work mates. Our pilot Kim was also wonderful delivering an excellent service with some great laughs along the way. Would highly recommend these guys if you are planning to fly 🙂 “
“An absolute must do The experience exceeded our expectations and A huge thanks to Sam Clay and Dave Who made the experience all the more enjoyable Will be definitely going again.”
“We had the most fantastic time with breathtaking views, a glorious sun rise, a pilot who was very informative and was amazing with his control of the balloon. The delicious breakfast after capped off an unforgettable morning. Would definitely recommend this and would do it again.”
“I booked the flight for the purpose of proposing to my gf. Our pilot Nicola offered to help film the proposal, something that didn’t cross my mind! A big thank you to Nicola and crew for making the occasion that much more special! “
“6,200 feet into the quiet ambiance of the atmosphere on a perfect morning – Oh, what a feeling!! Great guide in Nicola and really great bunch of fellow early morning balloon risers. Would do it again and highly recommend the experience. Great breakfast after the ride as well.”
“Wow wow wow My second Balloon flight, My husband’s first flight experience and a surprise flight at that . What an amazing experience it was for him, with the early rise well worth it
From the time we entered the driveway the staff were and are very friendly they are a credit to you a job well done.”
“Gently floated over the vineyards with a grin you couldnt wipe off while watching the sun come up over Pokolbin. Our pilot, Clay, navigated expertly over the Valley with charm and good humour as he introduced us to the art of ballooning. We landed gently and had a treat – walking inside the still inflated balloon, like a magical colourful billowing tent before all pitching to roll and pack the balloon away. Back to earth with a champagne welcome and a hearty perfectly cooked breakfast. Highly recommend.”
