Sunrise Hot Air Ballooning, Launceston

Sunrise Hot Air Ballooning

Have you ever looked up to see a hot air balloon drifting silently overhead? With this experience it'll be you in the basket of the balloon, looking down as everyone else is still waking up. First off (with feet still firmly on the ground!), you'll meet your pilot and get a flight safety briefing, before helping to prepare and inflate the balloon then climb into the basket, ready for launching. Flying at heights of up to 5,000 feet, you'll gaze down at the beautiful views of the countryside below and enjoy the restful peace and quiet (except for when the propane burners are going that is). Because the balloon moves with the wind, you'll feel no wind at all, just sheer enjoyment. After landing you can help the crew pack the balloon away, before enjoying a celebratory glass of champagne (or soft drink) and being driven back to the launch site (who knows where you'll land? - you can't steer balloons!). You'll also be presented with a commemorative flight certificate to take home.

Prices £149

Open Weekdays (excluding bank holidays) from March/April to October/November (depending on location). Flights take place at dawn, when the air is at its most stable.

You don't have to go all the way to South America to get up close and personal with primates.

This trip to a sanctuary dedicated to their welfare and conservation is a must for any fans of these clever, funny and beautiful creatures. After meeting the primate keepers and receiving a health and safety briefing, you'll help the team to clean out the woolly monkeys, meet the capuchins and hear about their backgrounds. Take a well deserved lunch break at Tree Top Cafe, after which you will help prepare the woolly monkeys' lunchtime fruit bowls, pick wild leaves from the Victorian gardens and get involved in monkey enrichment (making sure the monkeys don't get bored!). After a quick coffee break, you'll learn how to make a capuchin fruit bowl. Each of you will take home a t-shirt and certificate, photos of the monkeys you have met and one year's free membership of the sanctuary.

Introduction to Blokarting

Strap yourself in and prepare for the ride of your life. Blokarting is the newest adrenaline sport to make its way to England from New Zealand. This light, wind-powered go-kart can reach speeds of up to 90km an hour as you zoom along just inches above the ground.

After your arrival and registration, you will attend a briefing, which will explain safety procedures and basic sailing theory. The instructor will explain the all important instructions on how to stop and you will be encouraged to move across the wind and then turn up wind letting the sail out to bring the kart to a halt. You will also be taught how to circle the kart and how to ‘tack’. As you practice at either end of a cross wind course forming a figure of eight you’ll soon build your confidence with the help of your expert instructor. You may even have chance to take part in a short race with your group to demonstrate your new-found skills. At the end, you will be presented with a personalised certificate as a memento of your experience.
