5.00We have ballooned in Turkey’s Cappadocia, Cambodia’s Seam Reap, Egypt’s Valley of Kings and Victoria’s Yarra Valley. But we think Go Ballooning Gold Coast is the top for their fantastic staff and the enthusiasm they instilled into us all.
Fantastic

Golden rays over the Gold Coast

5.00We had a fantastic experience with Go Ballooning Gold Coast. From the initial booking process months in advance through to the balloon ride, breakfast, and winery visit, everything was handled professionally and smoothly. Communication from the team was clear and supportive throughout, including detailed pickup instructions shared the day before. The wait time on arrival was minimal, and the entire experience felt very well organised. Our pilot, Murray, explained all the safety procedures clearly and made everyone feel comfortable and excited for the flight. The hot air balloon ride over the Gold Coast was truly uplifting and memorable, and our whole family thoroughly enjoyed it. The winery experience afterwards was also excellent — great food, warm hospitality, and a lovely winery tour at the Sirromet Winery that was a very thoughtful touch. The breakfast was elaborate and we had many options to order from. Perfect to soak in the morning experience in a calm setting Thank you to the entire team for the coordination and for creating such a magical experience. We highly recommend it! Murray, chris, Jet the dog welcoming us on landing and the others from the crew. Thank you
