Good afternoon, what about some compensation considering we were not notified of the cancellation and attended the meet up point at 6 am on Sunday morning after travelling from Albury/Wodonga (four hours away) and a night accommodation? Only to have to do our own running around calling when no one picked us up. I think $300 compensation will cover the fuel and the accommodation for our very disappointing weekend. And just to confirm I have contacted consumer affairs who have advised me that reasonable compensation should be awarded in this type of scenario. James.

Best experience- highly recommend

Chris was fantastic! He explained everything thoroughly and made us feel very safe and secure. He is extremely knowledgeable with over 30 years experience. He pointed out certain landmarks as we came across them and we even flew over his daughter who then sent him a selfie 🤣 He captured my partner proposing to me on video and now I can rewatch that moment forever 🥰 He was very comical and had a great sense of humour making the whole experience a joy. We will definitely be doing this again!

Awesome experience

What an awesome experience! It was great to to be involved with preparing the balloon for the flight and packing up. Safe and well managed flight. The sights were amazing.
