Tell me your experience. Is it worth it? My friends are arranging a champagne breakfast in one of those balloons, and I am not sure if it is safe.

Yes, three times. There is ballooning in the Hunter Valley, out of Camden and over Canberra. It is very safe but can be a little bumpy on landing depending on the surface wind. Balloon operators are very responsible and carefully check the weather before going up. It is noisy when the burner is going but so quiet for most of the trip. Because you are moving with the wind, there is no wind in the basket and the view is superb. It is a wonderful experience.
Take your camera with spare batteries and card if you are digital and lots of film if you have an older camera. Have a great time.

Ballooning is fun, but it is most fun if there are only two of you and a pilot. Then you get a sport balloon. The difference between a sport balloon and the 12 or 16 passenger baskets is the difference between a sports car and a bus.

Yes. I have been in a hot air balloon ride, with dick smith and co. It isnt overly exciting in my opinion,,, a little interesting, and i think quite safe.
