Limited Flight Season  

The canola fields are only in flower in August and September; therefore, the availability of this flight is limited and seasonal.   

Schedule and Flight  

Meet us at Temora airport 45 minutes before first light to fly in the perfect conditions around sunrise. Our expert crew will provide you with informative details throughout.  

After a short drive to the launch field, it takes about thirty minutes to inflate your balloon. You are welcome to be involved in the inflation, and later the deflation process if you wish. Once the balloon is ready, you'll be invited to climb aboard. You will receive a full passenger safety briefing before take-off and the flight is safe, friendly, and professional. The ground crew follows and meets the balloon at its landing. After deflation and a quick pack-up, your crew will drive you back to Temora. The flight is for an hour and the complete activity lasts between 3 and 4 hours and is suitable for ages 7 to 97.  

What will you see?  

Flights usually begin at Temora aerodrome allowing us to fly over the canola crops to the south or west. We get expansive views of the brilliant yellow canola crops and once aloft. Occasionally we vary our take-off location if prudent due to the prevailing wind direction on the morning of your flight.
