We got to see kangaroos in the wild from the hot air balloon and then we saw more when we visited Koala Gardens. The kangaroos and wallabies were friendly and would eat out of our hands. I did the Koala encounter and it was amazing. The staff was friendly, answered questions and even allowed my husband to stand next to me while I held the koala and took pictures with our phone.

Went ballooning this morning with my dad ! Very impressed ! Felt comfortable , the guys were super friendly and informative ! Also had a lot of personality it was like ballooning with old friends ! We also made a visit to the Koala Gardens after with the bus back to Cairns. We got some great photos holding the Koalas.

Amazing hot balloon trip. You can also experience how to wrap up the balloon. Not every trip has such chance. Make sure you do the Koala experience as well while up in the Tablelands at Kuranda, they are so cute!

Ballooning with hot air is one of the best things I have ever done. Views were incredible and thought it would be bumpy but was a smooth ride! We also made a stop off in Kuranda on the way back to Cairns and visited Koala Gardens. Small zoo but has some unique animals that we can not see up close and touch in the USA .
