The premium service balloons in Ngapali 16 carry a maximum of 8 passengers. Each basket is partitioned so that the pilot compartment with all the flight equipment is separate to the passengers. All our baskets contain safety equipment so that passengers are seated during landing
For safety reasons there are age and height restrictions. We set a minimum age of 7 years old, but as a general rule, all passengers must be able to see over the basket and height is 137 cm for all passangers.
Unfortunately because of the tropical location in Ngapali, evening weather conditions tend to be less favourable and less reliable than in our scheduled morning flights. We believe therefore that a morning flight affords a more enjoyable and superior experience.
