Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Adventure Over the Cape Winelands. Drift into dawn with a sunrise hot air balloon flight over the Cape Winelands—a serene, sky-high adventure above one of South Africa’s most picturesque landscapes. Lifting off just after first light, you’ll rise with the sun, drifting gently above the vineyards and valleys of Stellenbosch and Paarl, framed by the rugged silhouettes of the Boland mountains. Your journey begins in the soft light of early morning at Klein Joostenberg, where you’re welcomed with a steaming cup of coffee or tea as the balloon inflates—a slow and beautiful ritual that sets the tone for what’s to come. Once airborne, the landscape opens up beneath you: neat rows of vines, misty farm dams, and distant peaks glowing gold in the first light. Carried by the wind, each flight takes its own unique course, offering fresh perspectives with every journey. After about an hour in the air, you'll touch down to a celebratory glass of bubbly or juice and a relaxed breakfast at Joostenberg Bistro—rich in flavour, conversation, and panoramic memories. What a way to celebrate being in one of South Africa’s most iconic places- Ballooning Cape Town will ensure smooth sailing.
