Experience the magic of floating over Melbourne at sunrise!

Experience the magic of floating over Melbourne at sunrise!

Highlights

  • Experience the beauty of Melbourne at sunrise by hot air balloon
  • Birds eye view over some of Melbourne's iconic landmarks
  • Enjoy fun and informative commentary from your pilot
  • Have the option of being hands-on and assisting your expert crew with preparations

A truly remarkable way to see this gorgeous city, you’ll ascend over the vibrant metropolis as first morning light hits, exposing spectacular views across the cityscape and beyond. Fly over the largest city in the world, giving you an unparalleled bird's eye view over some of the city’s iconic landmarks!

Depending on our launch location and route, these may include, Melbourne CBD, Yarra River, the MCG, the Australian Open Tennis Centre and more. Our launch site is decided based on the conditions of the day - this could be from Williamstown where we will float over the city to land in parks near the Easter Freeway, we may also take off from Albert Park and drift towards Essendon or Northcote, or from Moorabbin where we will land at Royal Park.

Each option brings stunning views and equally unique and amazing experiences. Some flights might be further East, and in this case not as close to the city centre. If this is the case the reason will always be that the pilot has to decide, due to wind conditions or due to arrangements with the airports, that a flight closer to the CBD is not possible.

Your safety will always be our priority. This unforgettable flight starts approximately 1.5 hours before sunrise with a convenient pick-up from a pre-determined location that will be confirmed prior to the flight. A truly remarkable experience, sure to be the highlight of your trip to Melbourne!

100% recommended

I totally recommend it! Peaceful atmosphere and breathtaking views. It feels like you are enjoying a nice view from a cool vantage point, without even realising how high you are in the sky! Much more enjoyable and less scary than one can think!
