5.00My wife and I had an absolutely stunning experience with Hot Air. The entire operation was seamless from start to finish and extremely well organized. Rob, our driver/tour guide/safety officer/balloon packerupera/alpaca wrangler/balloon chaser/ceo(chief-entertainment-officer) was fantastic and looked after us right from the day before through to dropping us home. Our pilot Dhawal gave us a magnificent flight over the breathtaking Scenic Rim and was both knowledgeable and entertaining. And we can’t forget Kev on the ground ensuring all went smoothly. A nice breakfast, few cheeky wines and some time with our fury companion Bear rounded out a great morning. Our flight was a gift for our wedding and it was so fitting that we were lucky enough to have Overflow as our launch site given that’s where we first got engaged. Thanks to the whole team for a wonderful day.
Great trip

5.00This was a fantastic experience - absolutely loved the ballon ride and we were able to see some kangaroos which was a nice bonus. Kelly was our driver and tour guide with Gavin helping out. The ballon pilot was Dharwal. Kelly was absolutely brilliant - even at the 4am pick up. The visit to winery for breakfast, bubbly and wine tasting was fantastic as was the alpaca feeding and walking
Amazing experience
