The Gold Coast balloon experience - with a VIP touch
The VIP Upgrade is all about how you arrive, and how you finish. Your own dedicated chauffeur handles door-to-door transfers, so the morning starts and ends on your terms. The balloon flight itself is a shared experience - you'll take to the skies over the Gold Coast Hinterland alongside like-minded excited people - but what surrounds it is entirely your own.
From the clouds to the finest table in the region
A world-class breakfast to close out your morning
After landing, your private chauffeur whisks you away to an exceptional breakfast venue - with dedicated seating reserved just for you:
Weekdays (Mon-Fri): Savour the Gold Coast's most talked-about five-star address. Akoya at The Langham offers an indulgent breakfast with sweeping views across the Pacific Ocean - a stunning contrast to the hinterland you've just floated above.
Weekends (Sat-Sun): Unwind in the serene surrounds of the historic O'Reilly's Canungra Valley Vineyards. Settle in on the grand Queenslander verandah with a gourmet breakfast, framed by rolling vines and the gentle sounds of Canungra Creek.
Every Detail Taken Care Of
From the moment your driver greets you, the logistics are handled so you can focus on the experience. After sharing the skies above one of Australia's most breathtaking landscapes, dedicated seating at a five-star breakfast venue puts the perfect finishing touch on your morning.

On weekends, your morning concludes at O'Reilly's Canungra Valley Vineyard - a cooked-to-order gourmet breakfast on the verandah of a grand Queenslander, surrounded by vines and the sounds of Canungra Creek.
After breakfast, there's no rush. Your private transfer is ready whenever you are - simply let your driver know when you're set to head home.
Weekdays at The Langham: the Gold Coast's beautiful white sandy beaches are just steps away. Kick off your shoes, take a romantic stroll, and grab a few more photos with the palms and the ocean as your backdrop.
Weekends at O'Reilly's: linger over the vineyard grounds, wander along Canungra Creek, meet the alpacas at Mountview Alpaca Farm, or browse the cellar for a bottle to take home - the morning is yours to enjoy at your own pace.
Please note: While this experience can accommodate an individual flyer, a minimum charge equivalent to two passengers applies.
