​Had the best time on the ​hot air balloon flight today. Our lovely driver Hitoshi and our pilot Bob really knew their stuff and you could tell all of the staff were wanting to make the morning the best it could be. Really recommend this for anyone visiting Mareeba and the tablelands.

Words cannot describe our morning on the balloon ride. From start to finish we were so impressed by the level of service and thoroughly enjoyed the full hot air ballooning experience over the Mareeba area. Despite the early start this is an absolute must, you won't regret it.

Was a pretty amazing experience would recommend to anyone looking for a small thrill & would definitely do it again! It was great that we could do the self drive option because it meant that we got to spend the rest of the day visiting the sites of the tablelands.

Absolutely a memorable and amazing experience! Blessed with perfect weather to enjoy the breathtaking and spectacular views above the Atherton Tablelands. We were camping in Mareeba so not far to drive.Thanks to the fantastic crew for making our trip such an unforgettable one!

We had never been in a hot air balloon before, but the first experience was thrilling. We got up early, and about an hour away from the city we inflated the balloon. As the morning sun came into view, the balloon grew, and we watched the first balloons take off. We could see 6 balloons as we watched from the ground, and we got to chase them and watch the beautiful sunrise.
The balloon is very stable and comfortable. As we took off steadily, we got to experience a magnificent view for the first time! I was very impressed. If you are looking for something to do in cairns, I highly recommend taking a Hot Air Balloon!
