Burketown-Moungibi Hot Air Balloon Rides - Winter Only
Due to fuel uncertainty, flights for the 2026 winter season have been cancelled. We plan to be back flying in Burketown in winter 2027.
Balloon Aloft is partnering with Yagurli Tours for a hot air ballooning experience with a difference in the Winter months each year. Take flight over the extraordinary landscape of Burketown (Moungibi) in the Gulf of Carpentaria for a once in a lifetime ballooning adventure. Burketown hot air balloon rides generally take place in the afternoons and are the perfect way to view the incredible Salt Pans of Gulf Country.
