GoKids - Activities for kids. "Hands On" Activities For Kids And Parents

We have been a family operated business since 1986. We offer early morning 30 and 60 minute balloon flight tours and packages, with daily departures from Alice Springs.

Our tours include return transfers, the balloon flight, a flight certificate and a 4 course chicken and champagne breakfast.

Your ballooning adventure begins in the cool pre dawn darkness as you are picked up from your accommodation in Alice Springs. During the 15-minute drive to our desert launch site you will get to know the crew as they make final weather checks and explain the routine for the morning. At the launch site gas burners are used to inflate the balloons.

The balloon flight takes place to the south of Alice Springs, between the Alice Springs Airport and The MacDonnell Ranges. Floating gently in the air, you will appreciate the vast remoteness of the Australian outback. Wildlife, particularly big red kangaroos, are seen nearly every day as the balloon crosses spinifex grasses, mulga scrub and cattle stations.

After landing you may be involved in assisting the crew or taking photographs as we pack the balloon back into its bag. Our buses will then travel along remote tracks to our bush campsite where you will be served a 3 course chicken and champagne breakfast.

Between courses of honey glazed sesame chicken drumsticks, quiches, fruit baskets, cheese, and homemade chocolate cake you will have the opportunity to buy photographs taken earlier in the morning. A large range of Outback Ballooning souvenirs are also available. Vegetarian and other dietary requirements should be notified at the time of booking.

Transfers back to your hotel, the airport or another tour, and a commemorative flight certificate completes your morning with Outback Ballooning.

The $AUD25.00 Insurance Fee per person, is payable on the morning of the flight and not optional. You can pay by cash or credit card.

Clothing: Long pants, sturdy footwear, hat & sunscreen.

Meeting point and supplier's details are provided immediately after booking.
