A huge Thank you to Hot Air Brisbane. I booked the luxury package as a surprise for my partner as I wanted to propose and make it unforgettable (also turns out it's a great story, because everyone asks her how I proposed). From the moment they picked us up it was just an absolutely awesome day, the view from balloon ride was just fantastic and breakfast was great, I couldn't have planned it better, the best part was she said yes!

Our balloon ride in August was the biggest surprise for my wife, she was so happy that we got to fly and the breakfast at the vineyard was the best we had on our australian holiday. So so much fun on the morning.

Breathtaking! Absolutely breathtaking! My wife and I have never been on a hot air balloon before and decided that we should try our chances while on holiday in Brisbane. We are so glad our maiden voyage could be with Hot Air Ballooning! They were professional, courteous and safety minded. Our balloon pilot made us feel secure and right at home. He also gave us a lot of great information about the scenery and the balloon. Michael, John and Jumi where great too! The trip was well worth the price, just make sure you bring a camera to capture all of those fantastic views.

Ben was an absolutely amazing pilot. The ballon we flew in was the largest of its kind and glided over the landscape. We were celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary and enjoyed every moment as we floated over the open fields. The view was breath taking and the experience was unforgettable. The balloon was comfortable and very clean.

Booked the luxury package as a surprise for my husband's joint 60th birthday and retirement celebrations. We had an absolutely fabulous morning. The whole crew was friendly and professional, from being picked up by Chuck our personal driver to our pilot Jay who was terrific, so knowledgeable and experienced. We booked the private balloon ride and it was amazing, so peaceful and calm. The weather was beautiful and our landing was perfect, Jay even managed to put the balloon down on the one piece of short grass in the field. Would highly recommend this experience.
