5.00Wow - what an experience!! Highly recommend. Pato and the entire Global Ballooning team were fantastic from start to finish. We had an amazing morning seeing Melbourne from the sky - a once in a lifetime experience. Pato ensured safety was paramount but also that everyone onboard enjoyed the flight. I’d recommend taking a cap / hat to protect the top of your head - it gets pretty hot under the flame (it’s a HOT air balloon after all!) Thank you Pato & the entire team for such a wonderful experience!
really awesome experience

5.00Thank you to the team at Global Ballooning Australia for providing such a fantastic experience. Words cannot express how wonderful it was to be floating above the Melbourne CBD. And, even though the clouds rolled in, watching the sun come up over the clouds was an unforgettable experience. This has to be one of the best ways to start a day!
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

5.00Wonderful experience from begining to end! Go Go Go you won’t regret it! All the staff are great, professional & kind & fun! Balloon ride was just magical! So calm , peaceful, beautiful, gentle, hard to believe that you’re flying over a major city & CBD!! But lovely to be low enough to wave to people & high enough to float over the CBD! Fantastic experience & would go agin in the morning(if I wasn’t back in Ireland!) Thanks for a great experience especially Eddie & Bronni 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️

5.00Our experience with Global Ballooning was absolutely amazing. The whole organisation was seamless from start to finish. Our pilot Pato and his colleague Lily were extremely professional, friendly, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Flying over Melbourne at sunrise was simply wow, the views were breathtaking. Without a doubt, this is the best organisation for a hot air balloon flight. Highly recommended!
Ballooning at its best
