With its rolling hills, surrounding mountains and beautiful valley, conditions are perfectly suited for hot air ballooning. The spectacular Mudgee region is located 3.5 hours north-west of Sydney and 4 hours west of Newcastle. It is an ideal weekend getaway location, boasting an abundance of vineyards and cellars doors, accommodation and attractions. This Mudgee hot air ballooning adventure begins at sunrise and meets centrally at Cade Kitchen & Bar in the heart of Mudgee. Your pilot and crew will be on hand to welcome you when you arrive at the meeting point at the designated time. Then, your adventure begins with a short trip to your launch site. This is determined by your pilot and depends on the wind direction in the morning. There are over a dozen launch sites to choose from in the Mudgee region. It only takes around 20-25 minutes for the balloon to be inflated and standing upright, ready for boarding. You are welcome to help with the balloon setup or simply stand back and take photos as your aircraft takes shape and comes to life. As the sun rises over the beautiful Mudgee region, you will ascend into the sky in your colourful balloon. Your balloon will float gently along with the breeze and in your basket you will feel completely secure with virtually no sensation of movement. The Ground Team will be on hand to greet you as your balloon lands. Join in as they deflate the balloon by squishing the air out, or feel free to stand back and take photos of all the fun. Finally, the excitement continues over a delicious gourmet breakfast at Cade Kitchen & Bar.
