The Experience
What your day looks like
Pre-dawn, our professional tour guide team will collect you from your accommodation and deliver you to the launch site for you to witness the impressive scene of hot air balloons being inflated. Once the balloon is ready, step into the basket with your experienced pilot; feel the peace and serenity of floating above the rainforest-covered hills, mountains, and tablelands set against the stunning backdrop of the rising sun in the sky. Breathe in the fresh air, enjoy sweeping views of the Atherton Tablelands on one side, then look towards the coast and Great Barrier Reef - it's the best of both worlds! Our very experienced pilots will slowly guide the balloon down to the landing point, where the fun continues, we all pitch in and fold up the balloon itself, have a laugh, and take some more photos. Finally, we came together with the pilot and ground crew for a light snack, chat, and to toast the sensational flight experience with a glass of sparkling wine. After your flight, you will be emailed a complimentary voucher for a 3-course meal for Lunch or Dinner at Lemoncello's Restaurant.
