Pre-dawn pick up

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 featuring an array of locally-sourced refreshments. Delight in a selection of fresh fruits, energising muesli bars, scrumptious muffins, and a delectable variety of savoury pastries and quiche. Pair these with our carefully selected sparkling wine or a refreshing orange juice, as you share your experiences and create connections with fellow adventurers, our pilot, and support crew. Please note, our offerings may vary to continuously provide you with the best of local produce.

Snack after your hot air balloon flight

09.30- 10.00am

The ride was very nice and the view was very beautiful. I enjoyed your ride and the the lunch time also. The facts you told about the atmosphere were also knowledgeable.

We took 30 high school students and had an absolute blast! The crew was super nice, knowledgeable, and we landed exactly at our spot. The views were incredible, and seeing the wallabies from the sky was SO exciting! Truly, a fabulous experience!

From transportation to the balloons by Jake, the amazing flight and sights information by Josh, as well as the fun breakfast after landing by Gavin, all contributed to an amazing experience. Top notch service and humor and amazing views. What a way to start a day! We would do it again without hesitation. Seeing the wild wallabies and kangaroos was just icing on the cake. Outstanding in all respects.
