A sunrise balloon flight over Melbourne is a truly remarkable experience. There are few major cities in the world that can be traversed by hot air balloon and there certainly is no better way to take in Australia's second largest city.
In the early morning light you will drift by the array of parks and gardens that make Melbourne the world's most liveable city.
As the city comes to life you will look down on some of the cities iconic sporting venues like the MCG, Melbourne Park and Albert Park racetrack. If you are looking for a romantic soft adventure that gives you a peek at city life from a totally different angle then ballooning over Melbourne is a must.
We meet at your hotel half an hour before first light (you will be advised of the exact time the evening before your flight). Your pilot will give you a short briefing.
You will then 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.
After we make our final landing and pack the balloon away participants can choose to enjoy a 5-star full buffet champagne breakfast at Hilton on the Park. After breakfast we head back to your hotel so you can enjoy the rest of the day in Melbourne on land.
