My mum and I went for her 60th Birthday. The entire experience was fantastic! We got picked up by hotair balloon goldcoast and our driver/photographer Scott was fun and friendly; a great way to start the experience. We arrived and entered the basket ready for our scenic views. Our pilot Paco was also fun and friendly which kept the experience amazing. And then there were the views, just wow, absolutely stunning!.....I can see why couples get engaged on balloons but be assured this experience is open and inviting to all. The balloon was followed by a tastey hot breakfast and champagne at O'Reillys Winery. The winery was the perfect location to finish off the morning before heading back home.

This is our first time to ride a hot air balloon. The whole experience was awesome. We had a friendly and hilarious guide who can even speak good mandarin! We took the second flight and had the chance to participate in wrapping the clothes of the balloon. An interesting experience. Nice breakfast in the vineyard too!

​Thank you very much for such a wonderful experience today. Our driver Tony, ground crew Wayne and pilot Stuart were absolutely fantastic. My mother and I very much enjoyed everything about our experience and it was fun helping pack the balloon up as it gave us a chance to see how strong but fragile they are. Once again thank you for such a fantastic morning. My mother said its the best present she has ever had in all her 69 years(was a xmas present from myself and other family members).

From start to finish they were astounding! A large group of us went up in the balloon yesterday morning for a 60 minute flight. They were on time to pick us up and from then on till they dropped us all off their level of professionalism was amazing.

We loved every minute. After trying to get up in a balloon for the past five years in New Zealand my mum was on cloud nine when she finally got to go up with Hot Air and with her family. We were all buzzing.

The take off was so smooth it felt really surreal. I felt like the 60 minutes was well worth it and we really got to take it all in and really appreciate being in the air on a balloon.
Stuart was really informative and we felt really safe the whole time with him.

The landing was seamless, I actually think it is worse taking off and landing in an aeroplane.

Once we landed and we got to help pack the balloon up then we were off to have breakfast and champagne. They had a great selection of food and drinks. Mum even got a cake because it was her birthday.

We also had some wine tasting saw some turtles and Alpaccas. Which you can walk if you choose to.

Such an incredible experience. Mum said she wants to do it again it was so enjoyable.

Don't think anymore book with Hot Air you wont be let down.

Loved it start to finish. Thanks Scotty, Stuart and the team.
