John Stein (Justin’s father) became a balloonist in 1982. By 1986 John was so passionate about ballooning he started the business, which makes it one of the oldest ballooning companies in Australia. He has also been inducted into the Australian Ballooning Federation Hall of Fame.
Justin, with the same passion for ballooning as his father before him, took over the family business about 10 years later and built the business up to what it is now.
Justin Stein, by age 18, had gained his piloting licence and his skills were recognised when in 2002 and 2003 he won the ballooning state championships. Justin has logged over 3400 flights and has over 30 years experience flying in the Barossa Valley region, and he still loves it!
Justin is very proud of his impeccable safety record. Our reputation for professionalism, safety and excellence are at the heart of our operation. We love what we do and we’re sure you’ll love it too.

However being a small family owned and operated business, direct bookings are greatly appreciated!
We had heard from so many friends that had to reschedule many times due to bad weather, so we were very fortunate to be able to fly on our first attempt - and on a sunny winter's day! I'm not too keen on being up high, but ballooning is a different feeling altogether - it was a calming feeling as you take in the jaw dropping sights from above.To top it off, Justin and the crew helped my partner in pulling off the most romantic proposal!!! We flew over a "Will you marry me?" sign that the guys had laid out for us down below. I will forever cherish this special experience and will recommend to absolutely anyone.Thanks!!!
Got this from our children as a birthday gift for wife. An absolutely brilliant experience, from the flight to cooked breakfast. Justin and his staff were fantastic and did everything they could to ensure a good trip. The fog made for a surreal view of the valley and sunrise. The hour past very quickly. The coffee and cooked full breakfast rounded out the trip beautifully . Would highly recommend absolutely fantastic
Very worthwhile the early get up. Justin and the team looked after us so well and communicated leading up to and right through the experience. Every aspect was considered and the experience was very special. The extra money for the photos was worth it for me and my companions. Thanks for a once in a life time experience. Amazing views and such a wonderful feeling floating in the air as the sunrises.

The flight was wonderful with magnificent views over the Barossa valley. Even if you are scared of heights I'd give this a go as it is not scary at all. You feel as though you are just floating. You don't travel quickly and it is not noisy so a very calm ride. Barossa Balloon Adventures are experts and you are in excellent hands. Best to stay in the Barossa the night before as it is a very early start.
Our second time flying with Justin, we highly recommend Barossa Balloon Adventures professional but fun crew!
Such a surreal feeling floating across the Barossa. Have felt completely safe both times, this time literally had all our eggs in one basket (kids), they loved it too!!
Thank you for the awesome experience!
With Justin as our pilot and guide. Floating across the Barossa, taking in the vineyards, roos and serenity was a wonderful way to start a Saturday!Just do it! You'll love it!!!
Awesome experience shared with some good friends. Great informative crew that were happy and engaging! Hot breaky waiting for us when we returned including homemade birthday cake. Would recommend!
The balloon flight with the views and sunrise of course was great! However, the breakfast, lovely facilities and the extra little things thought of made it very special.
Our Team Really Enjoyed Every moment with Balloon Adventure's service. Special Thanks To Justin and his team ❤️❤️🙏🙏
