Drive through the Barossa Valley which is famous for having some of the most gorgeous landscapes in all of Adelaide. Once you arrive at the launch site, your pilot and crew will inflate the balloon ready for take-off. Have the option to join in with the balloon preparation. This whole process takes about 30-40 minutes. Jump on board, and after one last briefing and then it’s up, up, and away. Wave goodbye to the crew who will follow on the ground and meet you when you land. Relax and take in the amazing 360⁰ views. Experience the peace and beauty of floating over the countryside as the sun is rising. Fly for about 1 hour before landing somewhere downwind. Once you have landed your crew will meet you and it’s time to pack the balloon away. Hop back in the comfy vehicle and head back to the reception center for breakfast. The morning ends with a delicious Barossa breakfast back at the reception center with a view over Penfolds Stonewell vineyards. Chat with your fellow passengers and pilot about the morning's events, while sipping sparkling wine and indulging in the best Barossa produce.

THE EXPERIENCE After meeting your professional instructor and gearing up into a harness, you'll board our custom Cessna 206 aircraft. Ascending over the Murray River and over the track, you'll climb to your exit altitude. As the door slides open, fresh air rushes around the aircraft, suddenly everything feels very real! You move to the edge, hanging outside the aircraft, you smile for the camera before feeling yourself exit the plane and start to freefall. You accelerate to 220kph, feeling the adrenaline pump through your veins and the wind rush past your face. As the parachute opens, everything slows and after your instructor congratulates you and welcomes you to the sky, you take in the stunning views including the birds eye view of the Bend Motorsport Park. You take control of your parachute, flying around for about 5 minutes before coming in to land. After touching down on terra firma, you then swap your skydiving harness for a race car helmet and climb into a Mustang or V8 to experience 3 passenger hot laps around the World Class Bend race track.
