5.00Absolutely incredible experience with Liberty Balloon Flights From start to finish, everything was seamless and professional. Our driver Brad was friendly, punctual, and made the early start feel easy and relaxed. He kept the mood upbeat and explained what to expect, which was really appreciated. Our pilot Pete was outstanding — calm, confident, and clearly very experienced. He explained the process clearly, pointed out landmarks during the flight, and made the whole experience feel safe while still being exciting and memorable. The views were breathtaking and the flight itself was smooth and peaceful — easily one of the most memorable experiences we’ve had. Highly recommend Liberty Hot Air Balloons, and if you get Brad and Pete, you’re in excellent hands. Would do it again in a heartbeat. 🎈
So peaceful...

5.00Simply unforgettable experience! The hot air balloon day in Melbourne, flying over the CBD area, was something magical and difficult to describe in words. From the very first moment you can feel great professionalism and passion on the part of the staff, who immediately put you at ease and explain every phase of the flight with clarity and tranquility. Once in the air, the view is breathtaking: the silence, the colors of nature and the view from above make the experience unique and relaxing, almost out of time. Everything is perfectly organized, from the initial preparation to the final landing. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to treat themselves or give a special, romantic and really exciting moment. A memory that remains in the heart! special thanks to our pilot Nick kind, helpful, professional person
