Even though we were a bit scared of heights and terrified to go up all of the crew were so encouraging and friendly which made it a lovely experience. Johan our pilot was very chatty and gave us some great knowledge on ballooning and facts about the area as well. The pack up at the end was fun, it is incredible the size of the balloons! We also thoroughly enjoyed our trip over to green island, it is also beautiful out there.

​ Ballooning with hot air is a must when you visit tropical north Queensland. Also had a wonderful time at Green Island, cruise out was nice and smooth and plenty of activities to keep you busy for the day.

My husband surprised me by booking a hot air balloon flight with the rest of the day out at Green Island. The balloon flight was pleasant and I can not wait to try it again. We unfortunately didn't get to snorkel because of weather but glass bottom boats were good and such a pretty island to explore.

I took my son Ballooning with Hot Air and to Green Island with Great Adventures for a day of snorkeling. We were blessed with great weather and great staff. Nic (our driver) on the glass bottom boat was fabulous and it was so nice to see him get excited about seeing the fish, clams and turtles as if he was seeing them for the first time too. A fabulous day. We will be back.

What a fantastic day, the balloon ride was amazing. We went snorkeling at Green Island, the water was so clear and beautiful. This day was the highlight of our visit to Cairns.
