Disabled persons participating in the balloon flight do so at their own risk and the the Service Provider accepts no liability for any damage or injury caused. As the flight is for approximately 1 hour, passengers must be able to stand unaided for the duration of the flight.

Information on specific weather considerations may be provided upon request at the time of making the booking. Additionally, flights may be dependent on mechanical performance or staffing availability. When conditions are deemed by The Service Provider to be unsuitable or unsafe to proceed, then trips may not go ahead on the scheduled date. Similarly a trip may be postponed due to less than minimum numbers being achieved. It may be necessary to postpone a flight at any time, if in The Service Provider judgment the conditions are not suitable. The Service Provider reserves the right to cancel a flight at any time up to the moment of launch. The Service Provider will not accept any liability for travel, accommodation, inconvenience or other costs incurred or lost through such cancellation. International, interstate and country visitors should factor the possibility of short notice cancellation into their plans. Weather conditions can also affect the duration and route of all flights in all locations. The Service Provider endeavor to give each passenger the best ballooning experience possible, subject to the daily wind and weather conditions. With passenger's safety always at the forefront of pilots concern, a flight altered in route, or landing earlier than anticipated, will be deemed as a completed flight for that day provided the flight is more than 40 minutes duration (for a one hour flight) or 20 minutes (for the 30 minute flight). The Service Provider reserves the right to change the location of the flight if the pilot deems weather conditions do not allow the flight to be carried out safely in the Gold Coast region. |

What to Expect
- Pre Flight
After assembling together the ground crew will transport you to the launch site (selection based on wind direction). To get the full experience and learn about assembly of the hot air balloon, everyone will be invited to watch as the balloon gets inflated and ready for take-off! (approximately 15 minutes)
All passengers will be required to complete the registrations forms, your pilot will assist with filling these out, and answer any questions you may have.
Many people feel nervous the first time they fly, this is very natural. Please feel assured that hot air ballooning is the absolute safest means of flying and the pilots are highly experienced.
Hot Air Ballooning is actually one of the best ways to get rid of a fear of heights! - During Flight
Once you're in the hot air balloon basket and ready for take-off, the pilot will go through the required safety procedures.
As first light hits the envelope, the pilot will take aim for the stars, slowly ascending into the sky. This is truly a magical moment, especially as you reach the tree tops and start taking in the beautiful sights right in front of you.
Whilst soaring above the clouds, the pilot will introduce you to the surroundings and make room for photo opportunities. Then it's time to communicate with the ground crew and decide between approx. 100 landing sites, depending on the wind.
As you descend, the ground crew will meet the balloon 'running'. - Post Flight
Once back on the ground it's time to deflate & pack up the balloon before heading back to your hotel. The pilot opens the parachute valve to let the air escape out the top. And to fully deflate the balloon, the crew together with passengers walk across the envelope to let the air out.
As a team you then start packing down the balloon, this is of course optional but encouraged as an integral part of the ballooning experience. Then you will be presented with your flight certificate as a memento of your ballooning adventure. Last but not least you will be dropped off at your hotel.
