Hot Air Balloon Rides over Melbourne are a breathtaking way to see the town! Depending on the wind at dawn, your ballooning adventure may take you over the CBD, inner suburbs, parks and gardens, with Port Phillip Bay creating the perfect backdrop as you discover this gorgeous city from the air!
Your hot air ballooning flight over Melbourne starts when we either meet at your hotel or at the meeting location before first light. You will be advised of the exact time and place the evening before your flight.
Your pilot will give you a short briefing and you will be transported to the launch site, where you may help with the launch or stand back and take pictures.
Then away we go, drifting gently over the city of Melbourne in our beautiful balloon. Your flight will last for approximately one hour.
Afterwards, we make our final landing, pack the balloon away and invite you to join us for a traditional champagne breakfast at the Hilton hotel.
This experience voucher is valid for 12 months from date of purchase.
