Well where do I start? This experience is a must-do and well worth the money! From pick-up time messages from Cassy, Selina, our driver for who was impeccable throughout the morning and was clear and concise on what we can and cannot do for our own safety, and Stuart, our pilot, who added to the experience with commentary throughout the trip, and not forgetting Wayne. The view, once you see the sun rise above cloud level, is breathtaking. My only suggestion is if you're small, try to get in the basket so that taller people do not hide you from the on-board camera, but we took many of our own photos, so it didn't spoil our morning at all. Thanks again, Team Bubbles & Co. Keep up the great work :)
Beautiful sky adventure with friendly welcome party at the end

It was a very early morning for a sunrise flight. Be aware that everything depends on weather and finding the perfect location to take off so you might not get the sunrise but you’ll be very close and it’s still a beautiful early morning in the skies. Selena and Stuart were our host and pilot. They did a great job of making us feel welcome and safe. Selena communicated what was happening every step of the way and Stuart made me feel at ease and as safe as you can feel in a hot air balloon over 3000 feet in the air. For landing, we ended up in a field of cattle which had its own charm. Be aware, depending on where they can find to land, it might be messy. It definitely adds a certain something to the experience. Overall it was a once in and lifetime experience for me and my spouse. I’m very grateful we had the opportunity. Thanks Selena and Stuart for a great experience in Australia!!
Excellent service by the guides & pilot

The early rise in the morning is so worth it. We had an amazing experience made even better by Kelly's jokes to and from the launch site, Dhawal's pilot skills and facts in the air and Wayne on the ground crew! We thoroughly enjoyed the balloon flight, and our group was lucky enough to be able to walk around inside the balloon before it deflated. The added bonus of a hot breakfast and wine tasting went down a treat, and we made an alpaca friend named Diesel on the Alpaca farm. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to take flight in a hot air balloon.
