Simply 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
Go and do it!!

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.
