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 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

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.

It was my first time in a hot air balloon, so I wondered if it might sway a lot or feel uncomfortable, but it was actually very stable and the ride was really smooth.
The pilot and all the staff were so kind!
I thought the price might be a bit high, but it was definitely worth it!
Tony, Bob — thanks!

In addition to Tony and Bob, there was another gentleman who helped with preparing the balloon, packing up, and assisting with boarding and getting off (I don’t know his name).
Please pass on my thanks to him as well

From before boarding the balloon right through to the end, the fun commentary and explanations made it a truly wonderful tour. Even my wife, who’s scared of heights, had a great time. It’s an experience you can’t have in Japan.
The little party afterwards was delicious and fun too.
Thank you for the precious photos as well.

In the morning, Mike picked us up right on time at the arranged spot. The hot air balloon experience really showed me how professional the team is. The whole flight was amazing, and the six of us were blown away by the stunning views from the sky. Our pilot Bob gave us an engaging and interesting commentary. After landing, Suzanne guided us all to help pack up the balloon. The balloon is really big, so it would be difficult for just the staff to pack it up alone – I recommend everyone pitch in and lend a hand. Afterwards, we enjoyed some sparkling wine and light snack. On the way back, Mike told me lots of stories about himself and gave us an introduction to Cairns.
