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.

Venue:

Melbourne, Victoria.

    What a sensational experience. I really liked the way the Ballooning guys got all of us involved in the whole experience, launching and packing up the balloon, but at the same time made it fun and exciting - not matter what age you were! Whilst up in the sky I felt 100% confident with our pilot and his ability flying the balloon. Floating up above the clouds and seeing the sun come up was sublime.

    I gave this as a gift to my son for his 21st birthday and he had the best time. As for me dealing with RedBalloon and the Ballooning Company it was just a pleasure and very prompt service. I bought two balloon experiences and i send people to you no doubt

    I don't remember reading a suggestion to bring a hat. The whole experience was absolutely fantastic, had I realised or thought about the burners being so hot I would have definitely bought a hat with me.

    The ride was absolutely fantastic, lovely views and overall a great experience. The breakfast was a bit disappointing, one of the crew members spilled my champagne glass (over me!) and didn't offer me a refill.
