Pick-up at all Cairns accommodation & hotels by a Hot Air Balloon Cairns coach for your Hot Air Balloon ride.  There is a one hour transfer.  Pickup times are confirmed on booking.

 

06.30am

Experience the fun & unique sensation of being in a Hot Air Balloon, flying gently high above the Atherton Tablelands, Australia. The balloon takes off from Mareeba on the Atherton Tablelands.  Enjoy the picturesque landscape at dawn, floating in your Hot Air Balloon, time to really breathe in the wide-open spaces!  We have Australia's largest fleet of Hot Air Balloons and a fun and highly trained crew to maximise the enjoyment of your balloon flight.  It's just like a balloon festival, every day!

07.50am

Our hot air balloon flights are more than an aerial adventure. Upon landing, you're invited to a post-flight celebration with sparkling wine or a refreshing orange juice, as you share your experiences and create connections with fellow adventurers, our pilot, and support crew.

Pilot Frank shares a toast with his passengers

Fantastic experience to do in Cairns! The views from the hot air balloon were amazing, the sunrise was spectacular and the team was so knowledgeable and helpful! This is a very interactive experience and once you’re done you are greeted by a delicious refreshment set up by the team at sunrise. Jake, Gavin and Neil our guides & pilot made this such a fun morning with their great energy! If you’re thinking about ticking off that bucket list experience, you definitely should!

The experience priceless. The view was breath-taking and a special shoutout to Suz, and Neil who made a sensational team without a doubt.
Mike, our driver/ground crew was the funniest and kindness person plus a wonderful magician, with exceptional local area knowledge.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Hot Air Balloon Experience!

What an incredible experience! From start to finish, everything was so well-organized and enjoyable. Our pilot, Josh, was super friendly and made us feel completely at ease. The whole crew was very welcoming, professional, and added a fun, personal touch to the adventure — even helping with the balloon pack-up was surprisingly fun!

The champagne with refreshment afterwards was a lovely bonus, and the complimentary photos were a great way to remember the day. Overall, an awesome and unforgettable experience — I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for something special and unique! 🎈🥂

First hot air balloon experience!
The view from above today was absolutely beautiful 😍
The wide open scenery was so refreshing and calming.
It wasn’t as cold up there as I expected — short sleeves were fine for this weather.
After landing, we enjoyed sparkling wine and some light snacks — it was so enjoyable.
Going inside the balloon was super fun, and thank you to the staff for the beautiful photos.
I hope I can visit again 😎

We were in a tour with Tauck and some of us were interested in a hot air balloon ride experience. Our tour director booked it and Mike picked us up at Daintree and drove us to the balloons. Frank was our conductor in the balloon and he was great. It was a wonderful and peaceful experience to be up there watching the sunrise and admiring the beautiful views. We were in Mareeba. After landing we had champagne, mimosas and some delicious snacks. It was a wonderful experience.
