MORE IMPORTANT INFORMATION:


Safety Requirements for Travel: 

Hot Air ballooning is an outdoor adventure activity using rural properties that can be uneven or overgrown for takeoff and landing. While the flight is gentle, landings can be bumpy and the basket may occasionally lay on its side with passengers lying horizontal for a short time. Please ask if you have any concerns. The packing up tasks at the end of the flight are optional and we would appreciate your assistance in these enjoyable activities. However, they do involve some lifting and participation is entirely voluntary. Passengers that are less able-bodied are invited to stand back and take pictures of the fun.   

General Mobility:

It is a General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and company requirement that Passengers flying with the operator must be able to climb into the basket unaided so that in the event of emergency passengers are also able to climb out of the basket unaided.

The side of the basket is approx. 1.1 meters high with two footholds for passengers to use like a ladder when climbing into the basket. The operator’s staff will be in attendance to supervise the passengers climbing into the basket but are not allowed to actively assist Passengers into the basket. The Pilot in command will make the final decision on whether a passenger is able to climb into the basket unaided and therefore travel on the balloon flight.

In the event that the Pilot refuses to allow a passenger to board on this basis, the Passenger will be given a partial refund through their booking agent or by Hot Air if they booked directly with the operator. 

Disabled Passengers:

We recommend that disabled persons seek medical advice before participating in a balloon flight. Civil Aviation Safety Authority rules prohibit certain disabled persons for safety reasons. As stated above the passenger must be able to climb in and out of the basket unaided in order to participate in the balloon flight. Disabled passengers participating in the balloon flight do so at the own risk and the Operator accepts no liability for any damage or injury caused.   

Pregnant Persons:

We recommend that pregnant persons do not fly in a hot air balloon and will not carry passengers who are pregnant for more than 3 months. Passengers who suspect they may be pregnant should check with their doctor before travel.   

Scuba Diving:

We will not carry passengers who have participated in a scuba dive the night before their balloon flight. Passengers diving the day before travel should check with a qualified divemaster as to the safety of the passenger in participating in the balloon flight. Passengers diving the day before travel who participate in the balloon journey do so at their own risk and the Operator accepts no liability for any damage or injury caused.   

Medical Conditions:

Passengers with medical conditions should check their suitability to fly prior to booking and advise our staff when booking. Persons with medical conditions participating in the balloon flight and pack up activities do so at their own risk and the Operator accepts no liability for any damage or injury caused.   

Alcohol and Drugs:

At no time will a passenger be allowed to fly if their judgment is impaired by alcohol, drugs, or prescription medicine. Passengers not able to fly may at the discretion of the Operator be given a partial refund through their booking agent or by Operator if they booked directly with the Operator.   

Carriage at Pilot’s Discretion:

The pilot in charge of the balloon has absolute discretion in deciding whether a passenger will fly or not. Such decisions are made in the best interest of the safety of the passengers and crew and the Operator accepts no liability for any inconvenience or damage caused.
