5.00Just finished my hot balloon trip in Melbourne and it was definitely one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Get up more than 5 a.m. to go to the gathering. Although it was a little hard to get up early, when you saw those huge colorful hot balls slowly expand in the dawn, you felt it was all worth it. Before taking off, Nick explained safety and flight procedures professionally, giving me complete peace of mind for the first time playing hot balloon. The moment the hot balloon slowly unwinds, it feels like dreaming! The landscape on the ground is getting away from the foot, and Melbourne’s suburban landscape is at its peak: green-oil vineyards, rivers and remote city skylines. Nice!

5.00One of my most amazing experience, flying in a hot air balloon over Melbourne at sunrise, uber cool! Pete’s an amazing and fun captain, loved him! Thor’s also an amazing guide though he was not up there with us. It’s a tour I’d definitely recommend. I went solo but not even one second that I felt alone, awesome team, awesome crowd! Also, Tanya, the operator who helped me with my last minute booking (last night haha) over the phone was amazing, thank you! 🫶🏼
Great trip and attentive staff
