Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Absolutely fabulous!
I would totally recommend this to anyone wanting a super early start to the day, drifting over the tree tops and watching the sunrise.
Blake, Will and Aaron were fantastic.

Choosing Beyond Ballooning was hands down one of my best decisions this year. Unbelievably views, smooth travel, very skilled staff. Going during the weekdays was the best because there was no rush, we had plenty of space in the balloon and it felt a bit more private.

Our good looking pilot Danny toured us around the Hunter Valley. The flight was smooth and amazing 🥰 thanks to a good weather, it gave us a glorious view of the sunrise. I will definitely recommend these guys to my families and friends when they come over to the Hunter Valley (will even put it up in our YouTube channel). I think it should be a prerequisite to have this hot air ballooning experience as part of being in the Hunter Valley ❤️❤️ thank you guys for giving my family and I a very memorable experience - a late 50th gift for myself now that I'm 51 but it's still something that we will never forget.... Amazing ❤️❤️❤️ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Highly recommend .
Beyond Ballooning was a great experience the service was amazing from Les the bus driver to get us to our take off site and Nathan the pilot did a wonderful job floating us around to see the beautiful scenery.
And after the flight back to Rydges for a delicious buffet breakfast and the Beyond Ballooning pilots stayed and answered questions if any .
Great business and Great customer service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonderful experience.
Staff were amazing. Very professional. You felt safe the whole time.
Accommodation at the Rydges was great as they meet you for the balloon ride in the foyer and transport you by bus to the site where the balloon will leave.
After the ride you come back to Rydges for a fabulous champagne breakfast.
Loved the experience 👍👍
