Renowned for its majestic landscapes and scenic beauty, Cape Town has an exhilarating sunrise experience that doesn’t seem to get as much attention as it deserves: hot air ballooning.

Imagine gliding elegantly over the lovely Cape Winelands as the sun slowly rises over the vineyards with the majestic Table Mountain in the background. Lovely.

Whether you’re looking for an unforgettable way to celebrate a special occasion or simply seeking the thrill of flight, hot air ballooning is an experience that will stay with you forever.

If this is your vibe, one of the companies offering these memorable sunrise trips is Ballooning Cape Town, which launches from the Joostenberg Vlakte. Their trips include:

  • Pre-flight coffee/tea during setup
  • Approximately 1-hour flight
  • Post-landing celebration drink
  • Transport back to launch site (Klein Joostenberg)

Check out a short promo video to get an idea, or visit their website to book a flight.

Hot air balloons allow you to feel connected with nature while high in the sky, and to see Cape Town’s landscapes from a unique vantage point.

If you’re looking for something a bit more exciting, you can also check out Air Du Cap’s spectacular Peninsula scenic flights. The bespoke experiences offer a comfortable, scenic journey that covers the highlights of the Cape Peninsula in an accessible and affordable manner.

The ‘Peninsula du Cap’ scenic experience now also takes you through the gap between Lion’s Head and the Table Mountain cable car during your flight over Cape Town’s CBD!
