Hunter Valley Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ride

This shared sunrise ride meets at Peterson House on Broke Road in Pokolbin (2457 Broke Rd). Exact meeting time is confirmed the night before your flight. From there you transfer to that morning’s launch field, take a safety briefing, and lift over Hunter Valley wine country as the light comes up. Plan on about 3.5 hours for the full experience; the price is from A$369 per person. The route follows the wind, so named vineyards are views you may see rather than a fixed overflight. You may see Pokolbin vineyards, Lovedale, Rothbury, or broader Hunter Valley wine country. There is often a chance to help with inflation or deflation on the ground, when the crew invites it. After landing, transport returns you to Peterson House for breakfast with sparkling wine. Includes the sunrise balloon flight, a safety briefing, transport between launch and landing locations, and breakfast with sparkling wine at Peterson House after landing, as listed when you book. No hotel pickup — make your own way. Sydney transfers are not part of this local flight. Shared hot air balloon. The number of guests in the basket is not stated on the booking page.
