The Experience

What your day looks like

This is the ultimate Hot Air Balloon experience, your private balloon. For just you and your partner or up to 23 friends and family. Our professional driver will transfer you from your Cairns or Port Douglas accommodation in your dedicated vehicle to the launch site pre-dawn. There, you will witness the impressive scene of balloons being inflated. Your dedicated flight crew will do all the preparations necessary for your sunrise life off. Your private balloon will be flown by your very own highly experienced Hot Air pilot; feel the peace and serenity of floating above the countryside, see the rolling hills and open fields, set against the stunning backdrop of the rising sun. As you float gently above the earth you will enjoy a glass of bubbly or juice to toast this beautiful experience with a light snack. 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 pilot will slowly guide the balloon down to the landing point, where the fun continues, go inside the balloon, take group photos and selfies, have a laugh, and create more memories of your amazing morning. Finally, we head to a beachside restaurant at Palm Cove for a private experience where you can enjoy a delicious hot breakfast and toast the sensational flight experience with a glass of sparkling wine before being returned to your accommodation.
