5.00One of my most amazing experience, flying in a hot air balloon over Melbourne at sunrise, uber cool! Pete’s an amazing and fun captain, loved him! Thor’s also an amazing guide though he was not up there with us. It’s a tour I’d definitely recommend. I went solo but not even one second that I felt alone, awesome team, awesome crowd! Also, Tanya, the operator who helped me with my last minute booking (last night haha) over the phone was amazing, thank you! 🫶🏼
Great trip and attentive staff

5.00What a fabulous reason to get up at 4:30 am!! Had a brilliant morning. I am a little scared of heights but had the most amazing time. Not scary at all. A terrific way to see Melbourne from another perspective.
Took my breath away
