Travelers say: "An amazing experience! The flight was wonderful with magnificent views over the Barossa valley. Even if you are scared of heights I'd give this a go as it is not scary at all. You feel as though you are just floating. You don't travel quickly and it is not noisy so a very calm ride. Barossa Balloon Adventures are experts and you are in excellent hands. Best to stay in the Barossa the night before as it is a very early start."
