What an experience! Communication ahead of the day was great and clear. The crew were brilliant - fun but took your safety very seriously. Getting involved in setting up and taking down the balloon was very cool. The air balloon ride itself was magic - amazing to see the sunrise and also the city from above! Felt very comfortable and would highly recommend
A must do experience

I made a last-minute decision to try the hot air balloon ride and it was absolutely worth it! What an incredible way to watch the sunrise and get a bird's eye view of Melbourne. Getting up around 3am was completely justified! The pilot and staff were all very friendly.
