Hi Anthony. If your Hunter Valley hot air balloon flight is cancelled due to bad weather or for any other reason then you can reschedule to another day or email us for a full refund. Ballooning is a weather dependent activity so we recommend booking for one of your first days in the area so that if the weather is not suitable for flying then you will have time to reschedule.
