| Operations Outback Ballooning has been operating in Alice Springs since 1986, and is one of Australia’s largest and longest established ballooning companies. We operate everyday, weather permitting. Our fleet of large balloons carrying from 4 to 20 passengers each, provides great booking flexibility. The reliable desert weather means we have one of lowest cancellation rates in the world. Our carrying capacity is 160 passengers per morning, which allows us to cater for FIT, group travel, incentives, special interest and private charter markets. Our Northern Territory Tourism Accreditation audited quality assurance program, ensures that tour companies, inbound operators, wholesalers and retail agents may book with us with confidence. Passengers can be assured that we are committed to providing a safe high quality product. Outback Ballooning is managed by Co Directors John Sanby and John Wallington. Kelley Smith is our
General Manager. She may be contacted
during normal business hours although our phones are manned between
4 AM and 9 PM every day. |

| Bookings are generally available up to 24 hours prior
to the flight. Safety is our primary concern and on the rare occasions that a passenger is prevented from flying by weather a full refund is provided. No fee is charged for cancellations more than 24 hours before the flight. Ballooning passengers who cancel the ballooning tour within 24 hours of departure or do not show up in the morning for the transfer will not be given a refund. Please note: If you book through a third party, (ie travel agent or tour desk) Outback Ballooning Pty Ltd recommends that you check their cancellation policy carefully & take out travel insurance, as a third party cancellation policy may differ.) |
