Sunrise Balloons turns 20 years old tomorrow, our first commercial flight was on Christmas Day 1998!
We would like to thank all of our crew and their families for all the early morning wake ups and the hard work that’s taken place.
Thank you also to our agents and tour operators for their support over the years!
Thanks and congrats to Hugh and Maureen who have countless early mornings and their leadership of the company!

Have a very Merry Christmas tomorrow everyone! Hugh McLellan Ben Kent

Just wanted to say a little thank you to the team at Sunshine balloon for a once in a lifetime opportunity. Never thought I'd be able to do this sort of thing,what a way to sightsee.
The pastries, the views and the support for managing the clan 8000 feet in the air were all gratefully appreciated.
Cheers guys.
