About
Barossa Balloon Adventures offer a 1 hour sunrise hot air balloon flight with a delicious Barossa breakfast after the flight. Barossa Balloon Adventures have been ballooning in the Barossa Valley for over 30 years. Which makes us the longest running ballooning company in SA (since 1986), therefore the most experienced at flying over the Barossa. Justin (the pilot and owner of the business) has a safety record second to none. Our reputation for professionalism, excellence, fun and above all, safety are at the heart of our operation. That’s why we’re number 1 on TripAdvisor. So come and experience the magic and wonder for yourself. We love what we do and we’re sure you’ll love it too !!!

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.

Patience is key! 100% worth it! After mutiple reschedules due to poor weather conditions for ballooning, my partner and I were absolutely blown away by how amazing the experience was. We floated above the low cloud cover to witness a sunrise I have never seen before! It was surreal, calm and something we'll remember for a very long time.

The pilot and his crew were professional and made us feel safe at every moment. Breakfast afterwards was icing on the cake. Support this local business, I know I'll be telling my family and friends about it.

Booked this ride as something different for a Birthday Celebration. We discovered that others on the flight had done the same. The 4am start was well worth the effort. To experience a sunrise floating in silence, except for the occasional blast of the gas burners, was quite beautiful. It was magical to watch the changing colours and shadows. We felt very comfortable with the whole operation from start to finish as Justin and his crew were very professional to ensure a safe flight. After landing and assisting the retrieval team to deflate and pack the balloon we were transported back to a tasty champagne breakfast. We also had a chocolate cake to celebrate all the birthdays.
We thank Justin and his team for providing such a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this adventure.

To be lost in an early morning tranquility above the river murray was just beautiful and totally relaxing and so peacefully surreal. To watch justin and his team like ants, so effortlessly managing the main of the tasks, whilst asking the passengers to help here and there made the very early morning rise, so very worth while. The brekky after the flight, upon return to the "meeting place" was certainly delicious. The chokky birthday cake was super tasty and finished off the meal perfectly! Chocolate cake can be eaten any time of the day I say!

This was a special birthday present for me, and first time we booked in we had take off!!! The whole experience from several times watching the experienced team launch a small blown up balloon to test the winds way up in the sky, to helping to get the basket and balloon ready for take off. to then be floating up in the sky for 1 glorious hour enjoying the beautiful views and serenity, to landing and then helping to get it packed away was "Amazing, Fantastic, awesome". Plus to top it off you are driven back to enjoy a beautiful home cooked gourmet breakfast with bubbles, orange juice, tea and coffee and presented with your certificate. Thank you so much Barossa Balloon Adventures!

We flew today to get a little closer to heaven on the first anniversary of a death of a loved one. This was the most perfect experience. I knew I had called the right company from my very first phone call with Justin. Justin and crew were not only professional, welcoming and amazing but went to great lengths to ensure the whole group were looked after. From arrival, to getting to a safe launch site, getting the balloon set up and inflated, the flight itself (just breathtaking) to helping pack down at the end and then a beautiful fresh breakfast - simply wonderful. Peacefully floating in the sky with incredible views. Our family highly recommend. Thank you so much.

Justin is very nice, funny and professional
Amazing experience to be able to fly above the Murray river and the bush. You don’t fly very high and it is so peaceful up there that people with fear of heights can be comfortable.
Would recommend to take an extra day because it is likely that the weather or wind does not permit you to fly so you would need to give it another try.

The whole experience was great. Driving out to find a spot, sending up test balloons, helping to set up, the awesome experience of going up in the balloon and the scenery. Great relaxed info from Justin and finished off with a great breakfast.

Was birthday present from my partner and an amazing experience. Worth the 4am start, with beautiful views of the barossa, and finished with a big home cooked breakfast by the hosts with birthday cake. Wow, definitely recommend :)

We loved this experience with Justin and his team. They were seriously safety driven, and didn't cut corners on getting the balloon inflated or deflated. At all times, we felt extremely safe. It was super fun to be part of the whole process. The flight was spectacular - we flew up above the clouds and had a wonderful time. We got low close to some vineyards, and had a great view of the valley. They took some awesome in-flight photos, and breakfast after was fun. All in all, my family agreed this was a great adventure, we loved the company / team, and we would balloon with them again!

Watching the gorgeous sunrise while up in the air brought a huge smile to our faces. It was a unique experience to see the kangaroos calmly standing in the shallow sections of the Murray and the cockatoos from above. Justin and the crew were very professional, calm and personable. Truly an unforgettable morning.
