From start to finish the experience was wonderful. Everything was so well organised. Communication was friendly and imformative right up to the experience of the balloon flight . I felt totally safe in the hands of Anton the pilot , drifting over the beautiful countryside.The whole team were professional and friendly . The experience was finished off with a Champagne breakfast with our fellow passengers, crew and pilot in a stunning setting at Montrose House that was like stepping into another time .
Anniehop. December 2022 (5 Star review via Trip Advisor)
Great crew, all the necessary care taken for our safety, brilliant flight with comprehensive explanations throughout and during the breakfast after. Highly recommended.
D. Simpson., December 2022 (5 Star review via Google)
Easily a 10-star recommendation. The entire Balloon Joy Flights crew were welcoming and highly experienced, with a wicked sense of humour. Anton Kerr was our man. We had a magical experience – we were fortunate enough to have perfect conditions after recent floods within the past week.
We had fun, we shared laughs, but most importantly we felt safe under Anton’s expertise. The packing-away of the balloon was half the fun, don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise. It was a hilarious bonding exercise! We had a fantastic group!
After a hearty feed at Tommy’s, who made an excellent host at Montrose House, we walked away with memories to last a lifetime. WOW. The entire experience from start to finish was simply breath-taking.
Glenn and Shelley Maree October 2022
Our first balloon ride experience was truly Magical, being so far up with stunning breathtaking views at sunrise 
We felt totally safe and learnt a great deal while onboard, in the care of Pilot Antons explanatory guiding navigation during the flight. The entire family business crew were great to work with during the process of setting up and packing up too! And the champagne breakfast was divinely delicious, topped of with fresh juice and a glass of their very own bubbly at the gorgeous Montrose House, definitly a majestic experience well worth it, a big thanks to the entire family for your awesome efforts to give us an experience of a lifetime for our Anniversary….

Valerie C– September 2022 (5 Star review via Google)
What an amazing morning. Up early, picked up on time and taken to our launch site. All instructions very clear – safety first and foremost. It was a beautiful morning crisp, misty, but sunny and just the right amount of wind. We loved our flight over the countryside looking down on fields of canola, the Belubula River, wildlife and domestic animals alike. The mist really gave us an air of quiet serenity. Champagne Breakfast at Montrose House topped off a wonderful experience.

“A Dream became a Reality”
What an amazing morning. Up early, picked up on time and taken to our launch site. All instructions very clear – safety first and foremost. It was a beautiful morning crisp, misty, but sunny and just the right amount of wind. We loved our flight over the countryside looking down on fields of canola, the Having done a balloon flight overseas, I was very keen to take a flight in Australia. But where? Living in NSW I knew Canowindra was the “Balloon Capital” of the state, so it made sense to visit Canowindra. I booked a flight in 2020, but sadly the weather was against us and, as we did not have time built into our holiday, we were unable to take the flight the next day. So it was put on hold. then I booked another flight for 2021. This time a serious COVID lockdown intervened. I was unable to leave Sydney! Finally last Saturday, my husband and I made a successful flight over Canowindra on a beautiful late winter morning.
The mists and canola flowers made for a spectacular sight. Our pilot was terrific – he should be, he’s off to the World Champs in September!
Everything was very well organised, all instructions very clear. Safety did not come into our minds as we felt we were in really good hands.
Thank you Balloon Joy Flights – we had a marvellous time.
Oh, and did I mention the sumptuous champagne breakfast after the flight – come out here and enjoy the flight and breakfast too. You won’t be disappointed!River, wildlife and domestic animals alike. The mist really gave us an air of quiet serenity. Champagne Breakfast at Montrose House topped off a wonderful experience.
Janet S – August 2022 (5 Star review via Trip Adviser)
Absolutely Fabulous Balloon ride!
Perfect morning, starting with a magical sunrise flight.
Spectacular views with patches of glorious yellow canola fields.
Anton the pilot was wonderful and during the Breakfast after at Montrose house
It was lovely chatting with him about ballooning.
Tommy the host at Montrose house was delightful and the breakfast lovely!
Anyone thinking of doing a balloon ride, you must go with balloon joy flights Canowindra
And good luck to Anton with the upcoming World International Competition!
Thank you Jan & Anton
imparjaarabians – August 2022 (5 Star review via Trip Adviser)
Canowindra Balloon Joy Flights
This was awesome, very professional. Picked up from our motel and taken to launch site. Safety procedures followed and passed onto all ballooners. Perfect morning and conditions.
Anton was the perfect host and pilot. My husband and I absolutely loved it. We then were driven back to a guest house for a beautiful breakfast (not a sausage sanger) and champagne where Anton also gave us a bit of a history lesson on ballooning.
We highly recommend this flight and we will definately be doing this again but with our kids.
Thank you to Anton and Jan – you were the perfect hosts and operators.
Cheers Lee and Jason D

Weekend Getaway
Our pilot and all staff were professional and friendly. After our flight we were taken to Montrose House where we were served a delicious brekky.
Well worth a trip to Canowindra to enjoy this experience!
Aprile3211– June 2022 (5 Star review via Trip Adviser)
We had a brilliant time !!
Very well organised Balloon Flight, with a very smooth take-off and landing. It was interesting to see (and help) set-up the balloon prior to the flight and pull it down at the end.
We had a beautiful clear morning and the flight was brilliant. All the other people who went (there were 13) were really nice & friendly. Our Pilot was very nice and happy to answer any questions. The breakfast afterwards at Montrose House was lovely and our Host there was very nice & friendly.
Trish C – April 2022 (5 Star review via Trip Adviser)
Tranquility at it’s best!
“We spent a delightful morning in the hands of a very knowledgeable and skilled team! Canowindra really turned it on, giving us a cracker of a day coupled with wonderful country hospitality. The serenity of floating above the scenic countryside along with the warm and playful banter of the crew, really made for a very enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!”
Julie T – April 2022 (review by email)
We had a fabulous balloon ride this morning with Anton. We were picked up from our accommodation and taken to the launch site where we helped to unpack the balloon. The safety talk and explanation of the process were excellent. The flight was so much fun. Relaxing and exhilarating all at the same time. After a 50 minute flight over beautiful scenery we landed in a field, without even a bump, and helped to pack up the balloon. Next came a lovely breakfast in town. What a memorable experience. Thank you Anton and the crew from Balloon Joy flights.
Stephen and Wendy – April 2022 (review by email)
Well after four years of trying due to cancellations from Covid and the weather we finally got to take our flight, and it was so worth the wait. We had a perfect day, not to cold a start, with clear and sunny skies. perfect for a balloon flight. The views were great.
The flight was flawless from start to finish, due to the very professional but very relaxed and happy crew.
Then to finish the morning off with a wonderful breakfast at Montrose House, just made it a beautiful experience all round.
Thank you Jan, Graham, Anton and crew, Tommy and friend.
Explorer24748272230 from Sydney – April 2022 (5 Star Trip Adviser review)
Great views over Canowindra and surrounding areas with a professional company. Very experienced pilot (owner) that made the journey relaxed. Very recommended!!
Greg L from Sydney – April 2022 (5 Star Trip Adviser review)
Great Bunch of Guys
“They were really into their ballooning and they did their setup and packing with enthusiasm. I thought their extra knowledge and safety talks were particularly detailed and they made you feel safe all the time. They catered for young and old and made every part of it an experience never to forget.”
magdamaree from Bathurst – April 2022 (5 Star Trip Adviser review)

Jane L. – April 2022 (5 Star Trip Advisor review)
We totally loved our balloon flight this morning. Such a fabulous way to celebrate our daughter’s 21st birthday. The team at Balloon Joys Flights were absolutely excellent. Our breakfast was a fabulous way to finish a perfect morning.
Thank you so much.
David M. – April 2022 (Review by email)
We enjoyed an amazing flight this morning with Balloon Joy Flights. The weather was perfect with a birds-eye view of Canowindra and surrounding areas looking like a picture postcard. Thanks to Anton, our pilot, Jan and Graham for an unforgettable experience. (Also a great breakfast after the flight!)
Paul W. – April 2022 (Review by email)
We had a wonderful time on the balloon ride, such a calm and quiet experience. Balloon joy flights were very professional and engaging and Anton a very skilled pilot.
We would thoroughly recommend a trip to Canowindra to take a balloon flight.
Marzenka L. – April 2022 (Review by email)
It was a great experience. I enjoyed every moment of flight and work to put balloon up and pack up. Pilot and other crew members very professional and friendly.
Thank you for great morning I will recommend this experience to all my friends.
Kaz2794_Info – March 2022 (5 Star Trip Adviser review)
Balloon Joy Flights exceeded my expectations.
This company creates an all involved experience from the moment you step inside the Troopy. The staff were fabulous and very entertaining. Attention to detail with a light and fun manner. The calm weather ensured we were offered the most serene flight perfectly timed to see the stunning sunrise and drift over the rolling hills of Canowindra. Anton, the pilot ensured we were fully informed with each step of the flight, he is very knowledgeable and maneuvered the balloon perfectly into landing. After assisting to pack away we were spoiled by Tommy @ Montrose House for a elaborate champagne breakfast. Eggs Benedict, Bacon, scrambled eggs, hash browns,toast, OJ, tea, coffee and champagne. AMAZING is an understatement!
This is a MUST DO experience while visiting Canowindra, Cowra and surrounds
Debra B. – March 2022 (Review by email)
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed or flight today. Anton was a great pilot, the countryside and mountains in the distance were beautiful indeed and champagne brekky at Montrose House delicious.
Glenn T. – March 2022 (Review by email)
We had a great day, the staff very helpfull and informative, very well organized, will do this again, will recommend to others.
Julie and Tony – March 2022 (Review by email)
What a wonderful experience we had. This is a family run business and you couldn’t meet a nicer family. We had a small hiccup at the start and they went over and beyond to make sure we had our flight that day as we were out of towners.
Anton our pilot was lovely and pointed many things and places out to us whilst we were flying and answered all of our questions. The guest house where we had breakfast afterwards was a delight and breaky yummy. Jan explained about the first balloon flight and said a lovely balloon prayer. Definitely recommend to anyone. You feel like you are just floating through the sky.
Julie and Tony.
Judith – March 2022 (Review by email)
Loved the whole experience! Even helping to rolling out and rolling up of the balloon at the beginning and end of the trip! Our very skilled pilot Anton landed us very smoothly and upright without the basket tipping over.
We just might have to go back again to experience the excitement of a tip over! The cooked breakfast after the flight was superb, including excellent champagne and coffee. A grand morning out!!
John – March 2022 (Review by email)
Absolutely brilliant, great pilot, beautiful scenery, would do it again.
Sue and Simon – February 2022 (Review by email)

Our first experience in a balloon and we couldn’t have asked for a better family to take us up! The experience was super comfortable, very professional and plenty of laughs! Wrapped up with a really delicious breakfast. All in all, a truly wonderful experience. Definitely go for it, you won’t regret it
Brett – February 2022 (5 Star Trip Advisor review)
Both my Wife and Myself had never been on a balloon flight before, but it was on my Wife’s bucket list.
I found the entire experience to be exceptional, this was helped by the professional and friendly way that the entire trip was run.

An amazing start to 2022 with a balloon joy flight New Years Day, we loved every minute of it – was a magical morning! Thank you for your hospitality, we really enjoyed our time with you guys.
Sharon H – Jan 2022 (5 Star Google review)
We had a great experience from start to finish. This was a rescheduled flight due to poor weather last time for which we had excellent notice to change plans. There was a lot of flexibility rebooking (and I suggest you book directly with them and not through a 3rd company).
Beautiful scenery, lovely breakfast and knowledgeable pilot – we are grateful for the super smooth landing too in the slightly windy conditions

Tranquility all the Way
“We had our flight rescheduled twice due to bad weather. However as the first flight was the parent company in a different location and we had to go through them to rebook and there was a minimal changeover cost but going to Canowindra and not Canberra (also dates were 12 months apart). However the 2nd rebook was super easy with Jan and we also found she gave sufficient notice of a cancelled flight whereas our first one was pulled basically as we were driving to the meet location at 5am! Loads of useful communication so just couldn’t have been easier. The flight was fabulous from start to finish and the scenery beautiful. We then enjoyed a yummy hot breakfast. I highly recommend if you want to try this, do so at Canowindra.”

Excellent communication with us before and during the event and we highly recommend you contact Balloon Joy Flights, Canowindra. It was a wonderful experience
Andrew W – November 2021 (email review)
Our flight was in Mid November 2021 and was an unforgettable experience. The pilot and his staff were fantastic and the weather was perfect. Beautiful scenery in Canowindra. From beginning to end the flight and whole process were trouble free. I highly recommend this experience and urge you if you got this far to read the reviews then just book it. You won’t regret it.
Small Car Cup – November 2021 (5 Star Google Review)
What a fantastic experience!
The owners and our Pilot were all super friendly and a wealth of knowledge of the area and about ballooning.
If your going ballooning, go with these guys 💯💯💯💯💯👍
Alison F – October 2021 (5 Star Trip Advisor Review)
A morning of perfection
I received a voucher for my 50th birthday and to say I was a bit apprehensive would be putting it mildly however, from my first contact with these guys I was put at ease. Anton was our pilot and he was great. Anton explained everything to us, he went through all the safety needs and off we went. WOW. I’m so glad I took the plunge and went through with the flight. It was so peaceful and the views spectacular. Anton pointed out all the local points of interest, we flew over the canola which OMG if you ever get the chance definitely go when the canola is out. Our whole flight including the landing was perfection. We ended the tour with breakfast at Montrose House where Tommy cooked us up a feast complete with coffee, juice and champagne. We then walked the streets of Canowindra browsing through the shops. The day was perfect.
Jonathan M – October 2021 (Facebook Review)
Fantastic morning flight.
Staff were all happy and easy going.
Our pilot Anton was very experienced and gave us lots of information about the Canowindra area as well as Ballooning.
Tommy cooked us an awesome Eggs Benny topped of with some champers and coffee.
My wife and I can’t recommend these guys enough.
Just Do It!!!!
David H – October 2021
Fantastic experience and well organised. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.
Joan P- October 2021
A wonderful experience. The whole process was well done and we felt very safe . We especially thank Anton for his expertise and informative chatter throughout the ride and in his talk at breakfast. Breakfast itself greatly appreciated..
Erna W October 2021
Very good experience and story out of it. OMG impress me, will recommend to all my friends to have a go definetely !!!.
Maya G. October 2021
What a unique adventure! Being a part of the set up process was a great prelude to the flight, unwrapping the balloon and the sight and sound of the gas flame breathing life into it. The gentle upward glide into the sky was breathtaking and more relaxing than you would imagine, particularly in the knowledge that you are in good hands. Our pilot, Anton, was friendly, informative and highly skilled. The journey was a cross between a floating meditation over the stunningly beautiful fields of golden canola, an aerial nature study of the flora and fauna below and a sheer thrill when skimming the trees and climbing the sky. Back on the ground, a champagne breakfast and an informative chat about the history of ballooning topped off the morning. Will be back as it is a tad addictive!
Thank you Anton, Jan & Graham.
Glenys C October 2021 (5 Star Google Review)
Our balloon flight was an amazing experience! Jan was so helpful and friendly beforehand, Anton was a professional and calming pilot. I can’t recommend this wonderful family operated balloon flight enough. Do yourself a favour and go.
There is also a very yummy champagne breakfast after!
Graham and Maureen – July 2021
After a few false starts due to poor weather, we were given the VIP treatment. The views of the country side were magnificent. Anton was a very competent pilot and most informative.
The soft, upright landing was absolutely perfect and topping the morning off with a hearty breakfast.
Highly recommend this ballooning adventure run by this very experienced, lovely family.

Graham & Maureen

Magnificent! My father and partner got flights for their birthdays and I went along for the ride. The staff are excellent, the breakfast was just so lovely and floating around the local area was just an absolute joy. We stayed at the local caravan park which was so welcoming as well. Canowindra itself is a quirky lovely spot with a really I interesting main street. DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND JUST DO IT! Definite bucket list experience

Andrew B – May 2021
We enjoyed the whole occasion from the drive in the Troopy to helping set up the Balloon, the very smooth take off . Even being a cloudy morning after overnight rain the views were great and well worth it. Felt very safe the whole time we up in the air to a very soft landing .Enjoyed asking Anton questions and talking to the other passengers at breakfast afterwards.
Thanks all round to a very professional but friendly operation.

Brilliant weather, crisp clear morning made for an excellent flight. Being amongst 18 other balloons made the spectacle all that more interesting.

What a great way to start the day! The team were very experienced, knowledgeable and professional. Our affable pilot Lawrie added to the overall experience, of a graceful and lovely flight. Followed by a champagne breakfast with great company. We would definitely do it all again. Thank you
Rochelle
SimonT – April 2021 (Facebook Review)
Thanks team, what a fabulous experience! Both Aggie and I thoroughly enjoyed the flight.
A couple of reasons why I recommend this experience is: Anton our pilot is incredibly thorough, knowledgeable and experienced…your safety is his absolute number one priority! Secondly, Canowindra is simply a stunning place to fly. Thirdly, Balloon Joy Flights is a family business so you receive a very personalised service. Once the flight finished we celebrated with a beautiful cooked breakfast, Champagne and Coffee. Perfect!
However it’s the small details that makes this experience so special. Learning why Champagne and Ballooning are synonomous are the little differences that make it special.Thanks again team!
Karen and Graham – Dec 2020
Thank you so much for a wonderful flight, breakfast and for looking after us.
Relaxing and unique experience. We really appreciate it. We loved that you are a family business. We are going to give our children the flight for their birthdays.

Hi Graham Jan and Anton,
The flight was fantastic, we loved it.
Anton is very skillful pilot, sensationally flew so low on top of the wheat crop and just a hair width away from the leaves of the gum trees! The hospitality from your family is so warm that make us feel just like one of the family member. The breakfast after the flight was delicious, the home toasted coffee is excellent.
My wife rate the experience 10/10, will recommend to friends and colleagues.

Dear Jan,
We had a wonderful time and would definitely bring the children for a family ride when they return to Australia. Thank you for taking the photos for us that captured our fond memories. Thank you and Anton to give us a wonderful experience.
Cheers,
Patricia

Hi Jan,
We absolutely loved the whole experience. The hospitality and dinner there was excellent and breakfast was thoroughly enjoyed. We had assumed that we would be driven to the launching site and get on the waiting gassed up balloon to go on the flight so found the setting up and packing up a great learning experience that enhanced our enjoyment. We appreciated Graham’s running comments and knowledge throughout the experience. We will certainly will be recommending our last adventure to anyone who might be interested.
Again – the 5 of us all had a fantastic time. Coleen said it’s probably the best birthday present she’s ever received

Thank you for a WONDERFUL FAMILY EXPERIENCE, 3 flying, 2 chasers on Sunday.
The staff enhanced the day, as did the great breakfast and spiel at Delice. We chose to stay at the Bluejacket Motel. So glad we did! Service and rooms, phenominal! And several allowances made because we were flying with Balloon Joy Flights.
We will definitely be recommending the whole package to family and friends!!
Cheers, Narelle R
