A sunrise hot air balloon flight over the Camden Valley in Sydney's Macarthur region, drifting above farmland, the Nepean River and old homesteads, then a toast in the landing paddock and breakfast back at Camden Valley Inn. This is the refundable ticket, so a weather cancellation doesn't cost you the flight.

AI summary of 54 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the professionalism, friendliness and helpfulness of the crew, who are frequently described as making the experience safe, welcoming and enjoyable even for those nervous about heights. The most striking feature is the combination of a smooth, well-organised flight with spectacular sunrise views over Camden and the surrounding landscape, which travellers consider a memorable highlight often described as a bucket list experience. The included breakfast at Camden Valley Inn is regularly mentioned as a pleasant addition to the morning. The primary caveat is that one traveller noted limited variety in the breakfast menu, with only two savoury options and one dessert-like choice.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
Great service with a smile, some of the best views you'll ever see and an exceptional morning to share with loved ones.
I gave this to my husband and me as a gift, and so far it's the best thing we've done together as a couple. The crew were wonderful, friendly and kind.
An amazing, unforgettable flight with beautiful views. Our pilot Andrew was friendly and hilarious, even joking that it was his first time flying a balloon.
The crew are the best. They made us feel welcome and made the flight great fun, and we'd definitely come again.
A wonderful, picturesque morning. Amanda was friendly and bubbly, Deano was attentive, and our pilot Andrew was knowledgeable and excellent. One for the bucket list.
