Founded by a bunch of forward-thinking folks who decided, “Hey, why not ditch the traditional spacesuit and board a glorified hot air balloon for a stratospheric adventure?”, this company is all about making space travel more accessible (for the wealthy), but with a twist of elegance and a dash of whimsy.
Forget the claustrophobic cabin of a spaceship. Zephalto’s Celeste experience lets you gently float to the edge of space, sipping champagne while the Earth shrinks beneath you.
Like, imagine casually gliding up to 25 kilometres above the Earth for a second, and marvelling at a view so stunning that even your Instagram feed will look weak in comparison. Other people have to spend years in school to learn how to do this stuff, and all you have to do is sell a kidney.
Your Instagram feed will look weak in comparison.
The view is like your own personal Instagram filter, but better because it’s real. You’ll feel weightless, see the curvature of the Earth, and come back with a story so epic that it’ll make your friends’ overseas holidays look like a weekend getaway spent camping.
Zephalto’s Celeste isn’t just for thrill-seekers; it’s for anyone who wants a taste of space with none of the rocket-fuelled chaos. So, why not ditch the regular skydiving and try the ultimate high? The only thing more ridiculous than the idea is how amazing it actually is.
The journey lasts 6 hours in total, with a 1.5-hour ascent, 3 hours at the summit when stationed at an altitude of 25 km and then a gentle 1.5-hour descent.
The flight conditions are very similar to those of an airplane, the temperature is therefore temperate and you will not be weightless.

For years, travellers have come to Chilean Patagonia for the hiking, rafting, fishing and scenery.
If your idea of sightseeing usually involves a car, a dusty selfie stick, and way too many “are we there yet?” moments, it’s time to rethink things.
Forty years ago, a bloke in a battered hat stepped out of the Top End and into pop culture, dragging Kakadu along with him.
