    I enjoyed all aspects of the day. The RedBalloning team was extremely organised right from the start of the day. We registered in were given the relevant information and introducted to the pilot. When we arrived at the take off point I enjoyed the involvement in the setting up of the ballon. The take off and flight was breath taking, we were also lucky to have such beautiful morning for the flight. It was a wonderful experience.

    I would have liked either a shorter flight, or something to sit on as I have hip and back problems and was unaware of the amount of standing time.

    All good!!!! I wish we had realised that the morning breakfast was sort of open ended as we would have checked out of our accomodation before we arrived for the balloon ride. However the people at our accomodation were good and let us have a late checkout (I think most of them do). But this wasn't your concern!! We felt entirely secure and confident of our pilot Grega.

    Three of my children decided to take me on a surprise weekend away for my 60th birthday. What a surprise!!!!! Soaring above the meandering streams and vineyards of the Yarra Valley and watching the sun rise above the clouds was the most awesome experience. It was so spectacular I didn't have time to feel nervous. ;o)

    When I first received my Gift Voucher from my two boys I thought to myself how on earth am I going to go through this as I had all these thoughts going throug my head. I was in two minds about this whole adventure trip. Together with two other couples that came along with us we had an AMAZING flight it seemed so sureal and peaceful in the air and to finish of with the champagne breakfast just topped it off.... Compliments to you all for a well organised morning....Thank you everyone.

    The ballon ride was great. I did have a bit of trouble with the RedBalloon website log in. I could not see what was purchased and it got a bit confusing until I rang and someone sorted it out.

    From start to finish my experience was very well organised. Not only did our pilot do a fabulous job of flying but the ground support crew were very friendly and efficient, not a grouchy person to be found despite the very early start. It was all managed very professionally and from a consumers point of view it went without a hitch. Thank you for a great experience.
