It was amazing. I highly recommend it.An unforgettable experience! Floating peacefully above the landscape at sunrise was truly magical. The views were breathtaking, the ride was smooth, and the whole experience felt calm yet exhilarating at the same time. A perfect mix of adventure and serenity — I’d highly recommend hot air ballooning to anyone looking for something special. 🎈✨
Great way to celebrate new year

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.

Absolutely incredible experience, would highly recommend! Nick, our pilot was great. Friendly and informative and a perfect landing. We got very lucky with the weather, beautiful views over the city including the sunrise over the MCG. Our meet time was 4:15am for the 6am sunrise then we were back at the hotel by 8am.

Excellent trip. Very well organised with regular contact from the balloon company (Liberty). Be prepared for a very early start (ours was 4.15). Friendly & experienced pilot & support crew. You are involved in preparing for the flight & clear up which makes it interesting. We really liked the city trip as there was so much to see with loads of lovely photo opportunities including those of the 2 accompanying balloons. Very memorable experience. Would definitely recommend.
Loved it!
