Hot air balloon flights over the Avon Valley offers a truly magical experience and remain the only place in Western Australia where you can fly commercially. As the sun rises, golden light spills across rolling hills, the winding Avon River, and vast fields of canola in spring. Flights depart from Northam, at the heart of the valley, just over an hour from Perth. For convenience, Liberty Balloon Flights also provides return transfers from Crown, Burswood.
Ballooning in the Avon Valley is seasonal, with flights operating from April to early November. The cooler months bring calm, clear skies, creating ideal conditions for floating above this historic region.
Your experience begins with a transfer from Burswood or Northam meeting, followed by travel with the crew to the launch site. After drifting peacefully above the valley, ground staff collect you for a gourmet buffet breakfast at Dôme Café. The morning concludes with a scenic return journey, a complete 7-hour experience blending calm, wonder, and connection with Western Australia's Avon Valley.

Hot air balloon flights over the Avon Valley offer a truly magical experience and are the only commercial balloon flights in Western Australia. At sunrise, golden light spills over rolling hills, the winding Avon River, and springtime canola fields. Flights depart from Northam, just over an hour from Perth, with return transfers available from Crown, Burswood, for city-based visitors. Flying season runs from April to early November, when cooler mornings provide calm skies. Summer's heat and winds make ballooning unsafe, so the cooler months are ideal for serenity and stunning views. The Avon Valley is rich in history. Towns like Toodyay and York, among WA's first inland settlements, feature heritage buildings, charming cafés, and country character. Seen from above, these towns reveal a story only a balloon can tell. For Sunrise Flights, passengers meet at Dome Café, Farmers Home Hotel, Northam, 1.5 hours before sunrise. The team transfers you to the launch site, and after landing, the crew returns you to Northam. A gourmet breakfast at Dome Café is included. Total experience: approx. 4–4.5 hours.
