Full description

Be picked up from central Melbourne in the morning and drive to the launch field. Walk to where the equipment will be prepared and inflated. Passengers are welcome to participate in the various interesting and fun tasks needed to get in the air. 
Board the hot air balloon and after a short safety briefing, soar up into the sky. Admire stunning views of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the Yarra River, parks, and botanical gardens from above. 
Be amazed by how gentle ballooning is and take part in the adventure of floating in the wind. Enjoy the warm rays of the early morning sun along with fascinating views. Share this unforgettable and unique experience with family and friends. 
See how sometimes the best light comes on cloudy days when the sun manages to penetrate and cast lovely light in different areas. With three airports, the bay to the South and a huge metropolitan area, Melbourne is a very technical location to fly over. 
Watch as the pilot uses the winds at different heights to guide the flight to a safe landing spot. Balloons float in the wind so you will end up in a different location from where the flight started. Meet the ground crew at the landing spot.
Return to your accommodation in central Melbourne after the ballooning gear is put away. 

Includes

  • Transportation to launch field
  • Approximately 1-hour flight time
  • Highly experienced pilots
  • Half-day balloon adventure (approximately 3-4 hours)
  • Complimentary pickup for passengers staying in Melbourne CBD hotels
  • Food and drinks
  • Hotel drop-off after the flight (CBD trams are free and an easy ride after your flight)

we asked if we could be picked up from our hotel as it was a 40 minute walk to the Windsor hotel and they were fine with our request and picked us up a bit earlier. it was well organized with safety a priority. our pilot Dan inspired confidence and i felt safe with him in charge. Steve our driver was also great and ensured the balloon was unpacked correctly and set up. I don't like heights much but the trip blew me away flying over the melbourne CBD & MCG. the whole operation inspired confidence and i can't reccomend this trip enough !!!
