Hot Air Ballooning - Sydney Parramatta

Experience the wonder of a Hot Air Balloon Flight.  Most Hot Air Balloon Flights take place in the country so launching and flying over the suburbs of Parramatta make this a unique adventure. Enjoy 360-degree aerial views of tree lined suburbs beautiful parks gardens and undulating hills. Hot Air Ballooning begins in the cool still hours of the early morning when the air is more stable. The launch site determined by the weather on the morning will be in or near Parramatta. The adventure begins by inflating the balloon using a giant portable fan. Once the balloon starts to take shape the burner is lit heating the air inside. The hot air inside is lighter than the cool air outside and this is what creates the lift and why it is called a Hot Air Balloon. Passengers are welcome to assist the pilot and crew with inflating the hot air balloon at the launch site which only takes about 20 minutes. The Hot Air Balloon Flight is both picturesque and tranquil. You hear very little sound from the awakening world below. The silence is only broken with blasts from the propane burner heating the air in your balloon to keep you cruising across the skies. Watch as the sun bursts from the horizon and paints the sky pink in a spectacular morning sunrise. To top off the morning celebrate with a champagne breakfast and reflect on the adventure that is hot air ballooning.
