Ballooning Adrenalin Fiji

Overview

Pickup time can be as early as 4:00am during 'winter' months and as late as 5:00am during summer/daylight savings months. On arrival to Fiji you should confirm your balloon flight pick up time with Adrenalin.

We supply a Ballooning Information sheet that has contact numbers for you in case you need to call the team at early hours of the morning. First the crew pick up guests on Denarau Island and the Captain meets and briefs them at the Marina. Then other Nadi guests are collected and the group drive to the Nadi Back Road. Here another test helium balloon is left off to again check the wind-speed and direction. In safe conditions, the crew continue driving to the launch site, where the Captain conducts another test then explains the set up and inflation procedure.

Passengers watch the inflation of the balloon, then on instruction, climb into the balloon basket at the optimum moment before the crew discard the ropes and the flight begins! The balloon rises in the dawn skies and the countryside is revealed to you as the sun peers over the hills and you are welcomed into the new day with a bird's eye view. Fly over temples, forest, fields being ploughed by oxen and villages, wave back to the residents who mostly are amazed, or call out 'Bula'. After landing we are usually greeted by locals that can include cane farmers, the property owner at where we landed, and laughing children in their neat uniforms, on their way to school. We have at times even landed in school grounds, and that makes for an interesting break to their schedule! After the flight, the crew pack the balloon envelope and load the basket onto its trailor and guests are returned to their hotels, usually around 9:00am so they have the day left for the next activity....

Hot air ballooning is and amazing experience over here, and you trully get to see some of the real Fiji!
