Grand Australia and New Zealand tour

Has anyone gone on the air balloon ride? Being a shorty I want to make sure I can see over the basket.
We leave the US on 9/12.

  • I don’t know how short you are but you won’t have an issue, the top of the basket isn’t that high. Take the balloon ride, it’s worth getting up at 4 am to do. Beautiful scenery, and you’ll have the rest of the day to enjoy Silky Oaks.

  • Hello, I am 5'2" and had no trouble at all on that balloon ride. However, we did not have much wind that day and were delayed getting off the ground. I believe we had an alternate itinerary which including a low flight over fields with a few cows and what looked like abandoned equipment. While it was a pleasant and interesting experience, it was not what I had imagined and I wished I had skipped it to stay back at Silky Oaks.

  • Ww just did the balloon ride in Tanzania and had our 7 yr old granddaughter with us and she had no trouble seeing. The hard part is getting in and out of the basket. Have fun!

  • Thank you!

  • Yes, you’ll have no trouble at all and IMHO it’s totally worth the 3am wake up call! 😴 😃 It was very peaceful and the view in the sky looked so pretty at sunrise.
