We had a ball and enjoyed every bit of the morning; from getting up at an ungodly hour, when we would normally still be asleep to flying up above the fields of Mareeba. It was great to see the area from the sky and the colours were fantastic. You guys are great value and excel in customer service. We also enjoyed going to Kuranda after, although the food is a bit pricey.

We really enjoyed the brilliant balloon ride with your company in September. Husband is normally scared of heights but he seemed to enjoy the experience and the pleasant flight with pilot Johan. Glad we were able to have a coffee after. We can not wait to do it again.

Hot air ballooning on a perfect morning with the sun rising and the full moon setting.​ Our transfer driver Jack and pilot Markham were very knowledgeable about the area and we felt we were in very good hands for safety.​ Our only regret was not booking the longer flight. We will have to come again.

Hot air ballooning has been a wonderful experience on our trip to cairns. We had an excellent pilot and staff who made the ride more fun. Views from up top were fantastic and the entire ride made it worthwhile to get up so early in the morning. A must do when you are Cairns!!!

This is a very safety conscious hot-air balloon operation, so if this is your first ride then you do not have anything to be worried about here. There is a professional commercial balloon pilot and a ground crew that totally take care of everyone - they will even take pictures for you! :-)

Just know that hot air rises when the air is cool, so you will leave very early (4:00-4:30 am) depending on where you are being picked up from and time to arrive. The crew sets everything up and the balloons are pretty ready to take off when you arrive. This is the most peaceful way to spend the morning and watch the sunrise you will ever have.

You will be given instructions on where to stand and what to do during take off and landing. It is very important to follow instructions for your safety and others in the balloon with you. These are large balloon baskets and while I do not know the total number of people they hold, we had 20 in our basket.
