Cairns Reviews

What a magical way to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary. It was an amazing experience. Thanks to Pilot John and your professional team. We will be back.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our Hot Air ballooning experience on Dec. 28 with Jim as our guide. He gave an exceptional tour and was very personable with us. This was our first hot air balloon experience, and it was beautiful--from start to finish. We especially enjoyed the delicious breakfast at Rangers Rest; the food, atmosphere, and company were excellent. A special thanks to Jim for joining us and entertaining us during the fantastic breakfast. Happy 2008 to all of you and many thanks for the marvelous experience.

Thanks guys, you made a dream come true. The most amazing feeling I have every experienced.

We wish to say a BIG THANK YOU to your crew who looked after us. A breath taking experience, floating up with the clouds & the only sound being the gas to keep us afloat, and the marvellous views of country side & beyond, just like beautiful patchwork quilt made by man and god. ANd of course we can't forget the marvellous breakfast. What an exprience, definately worth waiting for. THANK YOU ONE AND ALL

WOW! What a day. As they say " Best Crew ". A special thanks to Brownie ( I think?) who in our opinion deffinately made the trip a very funny and informative one. The crew were all halarious and our pilot was AWESOME (we were told it was his first landing, but found out afterwards he had done over 5000 hours). What we learnt was to never take the crew seriously, if they say theres a whole in the basket- dont worry. If they say the pilot is a "learner" dont worry haha. The balloon trip itself was a blast, fun and some great views. Was also quite neat to get to know a few fellow Kiwi's whilst on the trip. MMMMMMMMMM- The breakfast was devine. There was a cold breakfast and a hot breakfast (although we didnt try the cold stuff, too busy stuffing our faces with all the yummy hot stuff) The meal was great but the champaign was even better. Once again thanks for the great time! We will be recommending HOTAIR to everyone.

Just a short note to say how much we enjoyed our ballooning experience. It was an amazing morning and I have a fear of heights yet there was no sensation of being so high up. The pleasant, calm drifting is probably why. We must thank you all for making my 60th birthday a very memorable one. Our pilot Jay was really great as were Nancy, Helene and Alex the photographer. We highly recommend your company for a very well run operation yet it was so personal and pleasant. Please pass on our thanks to the rest of your crew whose names I do not know. The bus driver, the ground crew and the catering staff.

Hello Here are a mix of the photos we captured during our flight with you. Thanks again for a fabulous morning - you surely have the best job in the world!! We felt totally safe in your expert care and would recommend this experience to anyone!! Hot Air, way to go!! All the staff were very professional, worked well together and just made the experience even more memorable!! We hope you are able to download these photos without too much trouble but should you want a copy of any to print just let us know and we will send the high resolution version to you instead!! It's been to best birthday present anyone could wish for!! Thanks again

The flight was so relaxing and lovely. Got to see the sunrise and saw some nice views over the Atherton Tablelands. When you land you may get the chance to help put the balloon away - an experience you should take up! Buckets of fun that. A lovely way to spend your morning. A nice breakfast and glasses of champagne when you finish your flight. We then had the rest of the day to explore Cairns (if you have a car definately drive up to Port Douglas - the drive is beautiful!).

My husband and I took a balloon flight last month up at Mareeba for our 10th wedding anniversary. I just wanted to say thankyou to Johann and the rest of the crew for a very enjoyable morning. The flight and breakfast later was great and of a highly professional standard. Congratulations on a business well run. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Kind regards, Tamara.

You can not get a better morning than this. Truly magical. The flight did complete justice to the scenery, with everything you could ever want - from the mountains and yes we could see the sea, as well as Brisbane and Gold Coast - all at once. Jason has thought of everything. Thank you - we had an incredible honeymoon and we'll never forget our balloon tour & the Vineyard.

Hi I just wanted to send you a big THANK YOU. Andrew and I had a wonderful trip up to Cairns (you guys put on beautiful weather!) The balloon ride was amazing, my hubby was blown away by the size of the balloons etc. We had an amazing time and you really do have the best crew, we couldn't wipe the smile off our faces. Thank you so much once again,
