Aviation, as you would expect, is an industry that enjoys an extraordinary amount of regulation and the associated paperwork. So much so that often it feels like you fly the desk more than the aircraft. However, it’s all for a good cause, your Safety as well as our own.

Hot air balloon Tasmania (Cloud 9 Balloon Flights) has been operating for 27 years and has over that long period developed a safety & business culture that ensures you have a rollicking good time and go home with nothing but memories. Of course, CASA safety audits and 35 years flying experience has an input into our success and reputation but we believe it’s really our attitude that makes the real difference.

But before the ‘attitude’ all the dotting of i’s and crossing of t’s has to be done. As Tasmania’s ONLY fully licensed and accredited balloon flight company you have to believe me when I say, Tasmania is a world leader when it comes to regulation requirements regarding the operation of a Tourism Business. Anyway we got through it (with some therapy) and you can rest assured all the paperwork & legal requirements are in place.

But flying a balloon, not flying a desk is what we are here to do. So let’s talk attitude or what most call airmanship.

Airmanship is simply a mix of good training/procedure, experience and good old common sense. It seems when pilots remove common sense and add their own flare to this successful safety recipe that things start going horribly wrong.

The Big Ego - We fly higher, faster, longer. It ain’t rocket science. Spend your time flying close to the edge, chances are is one day you will fall over it.

Before you part with your money to enjoy a hot air balloon flight over Tasmania’s beautiful countryside please know you are flying with a long established company that has a reputation for delivering on Safety and Service.

And since 1993 that is what we have been delivering and we intend to keep doing so long into the future.

You see Hot Air Balloon Tasmania is a Tasmanian Owned & Operated company and we don’t want to balloon anywhere else? And that gives you some important benefits:

If you choose to fly with us, we will be here to fly you. 

If you are only 2 persons, we will be here to fly you.

If you have purchased a Gift Voucher, we will be here to fly you. 

If you want to fly Summer, Spring, Winter & Autumn, we will be here to fly you.

Hot Air Balloon Tasmania is fully committed to giving our passengers only the very best hot air ballooning experience and with 27 years of operating a business, 35 years flying experience it is something that we can deliver on.

Relax in the knowledge that all flights include breakfast & Sounveir photos - NO MORE TO PAY

We hope this information makes your decision easier and we look forward to showing you the beauty of our Island from the best place, our hot air balloon soon.
