Why a Balloon Flight Costs What It Does

A genuine aviation operation

Every flight needs a licensed commercial pilot, a ground crew, a chase vehicle, propane, aviation insurance and an aircraft maintained on a strict certification schedule.

A one-hour weather window

Balloons launch only in the calm air around sunrise, and a single balloon carries a handful of guests per morning. The price reflects a low-volume, high-cost operation, not a theme park ride.

How Payment Works

Securing your seats

Sunrise flights are secured with a non-refundable R250 per ticket admin fee paid by EFT or SnapScan. Full upfront payment is not accepted.

Paying the balance

The balance is settled on site by card machine on the morning of your flight. There are no hidden costs on the day.
