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!

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.

Today we went hot air ballooning. It was awesome. Hard to put into words really. I was the loud customer. Neil, Pepe and all the team were such happy obliging professional team members that I will always remember the flight with awe and a feeling of gratitude. This was my 70th birthday gift.

Just finished the most amazing experience! From being picked up early at our hotel with bus driver Tony to getting the hot air balloon ride with Neil and the back down to Cairns again. The views and early start are so worth it.

Have to say a big thanks to the guys at Hot Air who were absolutely amazing with our ballooning experience in Cairns. Tony, Hitoshi, Ryan and Bob are awesome and gave as an experience we will never forget. A must do if visiting the Cairns region.
We had the best time and would do it again. Specially with Bob's fun sideways landing😂
Champagne provided by the guys was just the perfect touch at the end.

Booked the flight for my wife's 70th Birthday. We were thrilled with the morning. Competent ground crew, smooth flight, exceptional informative dialogue and every process professional. Felt we were in good hands with Neil and Pepe along for the ride.

Awesome experience. Great pilot. Took us right down to the tree tops to spot wildlife. We have done two previous rides in NSW which were quite high. This was a new exciting experience for us. Great value for money
