Passengers can watch as the balloon comes to life as we use fans to cold inflate and then the burners are fired up to heat and raise the balloon, a gentle lift-off and then into the skies, floating with the breeze until it's time to land. Flight time is approximately 45 - 60 minutes. A GoPro mounted outside the balloon will take panoramic photos of you drifting over the landscape, adding to your own photos you take on the morning. On landing the retrieve vehicles greet you, deflate the balloon, everyone helps to pack away to get back to Launceston for a big well-earned buffet breakfast.
