Overall Recommendation Level
Price: High
Price was a bit high, almost $400 per adult, and just over $300 per child.
Audience
Amazing Date Idea; Also great for families. Probably not the best for families with small children. Flight time is about an hour so managing patients and attention of younger children is something to consider.
Location
Just over 1 hour commute time from Adelaide city centre. Easily a day trip for anyone visit Adelaide or surrounding areas.

MY REVIEW
From the moment I set foot in the Barossa Valley, I knew I was in for something special. But nothing could have prepared me for the sheer magic of floating above this world-famous wine region with Barossa Valley Ballooning. As the sun began to paint the sky with hues of orange and pink, the balloon gently lifted off, carrying us into a realm of serenity and wonder.
The sensation of being high above the ground, yet feeling almost motionless, was surreal. The early morning tranquillity enveloped me, and I felt a deep connection to the vast landscape. The panoramic views of sprawling vineyards, majestic Barossa ranges, and the distant glimmer of the ocean were nothing short of breathtaking. Every moment offered a new perspective, a new sight to behold, and I found myself constantly reaching for my camera to capture the beauty.
But it wasn't just the views that made this experience unforgettable. It was the emotions it evoked. A profound sense of peace, a thrill of adventure, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of nature. Floating above the Barossa Valley, I felt a wide range of emotions.
When we finally descended and touched down, the adventure was far from over. The champagne breakfast at the Novotel Barossa Valley was the perfect way to reflect on the journey. Sharing stories and laughter, raising a glass of bubbly to toast the experience, and indulging in a gourmet breakfast felt like the cherry on top of an already perfect morning.
In conclusion, my hot air balloon ride with Barossa Valley Ballooning was more than just an excursion; it was a journey of the soul. It's an experience I'll cherish forever and one I'd recommend to anyone seeking a unique way to connect with nature and themselves.
