A professional and friendly team. Kelly was a great guide and Dhawal was the best pilot of the day, with the smoothest landing. Would highly recommend these guys. If you were ever thinking of doing a flight, don’t look any further than Hot Air Balloon. Thanks for a great morning.

The lush farmland below and silhouette of the distant hills made for a beautiful scene. We saw horses that were big and then small as we would ascend and then descend throughout the ride. It was fun to watch the kangaroos scurry from the pineapple groves at the sound of the ‘burner’. And the landing was easy. Our group ranged in age from 60’s-70’s. With the help of a step stool, foot holds on the large basket and guidance from the staff we all entered and exited with aging grace. This being our first hot air balloon ride we quickly gained confidence in the staff and crew as we watched their camaraderie and professionalism in getting the balloon ready, boarding the guest, handling the balloon and retrieving us. Would we do it again….absolutely? Thanks for a wonderful adventure!

We cannot thank Hot Air Balloons enough for the experience of a lifetime. One to absolutely tick off the bucket list! And to be honest, we’d definitely do it again.
We were fortunate enough to share this adventure with a group of our nearest & dearest friends to celebrate a special milestone birthday. From beginning to end, every aspect was beyond perfect; from the bus pick up with Kelly, to meeting our Pilot Jay. There were some pre-nerves & plenty of excitement but once we met Jay we knew we were in great hands. Jay’s been doing this for a long time & even though early that morning the rain crept in, Jay had found ‘a sweet spot’ to launch from, where we were virtually in our own zone of sunshine & clear weather for the entire journey. We began to ascend, but it didn’t feel like you were moving & so silent (apart from the occasional flame bursts). Even our super chatty group were so blown away by the breathtaking views, they hardly spoke (for a short while anyway). Lol. Spectacular doesn’t begin to cover it!!
Jay landed us so softly & asked if we wanted to tip the bucket (which we did) - haven’t laughed so hard in a while & everyone pitches in to help take the balloon down. Picture a stack of adults rolling around on top of a billowing balloon, (killing themselves laughing) all while dodging cow pats. Thanks also to Joe (team member)for meeting us on the ground). Back on the trailer to the bus & onward to a yummy champagne breakfast at O’Reillys Canungra Valley Vineyards. Beautiful valley, creek & even an Alpaca Farm! Thanks Deb for organising.
We didn’t want our time to end.
If you are looking for a breathtaking adventure for that ‘special’ occasion, with a team of true professionals then you can’t beat Jay & the team from Hot Air.
You won’t be disappointed.

Truly mesmerising experience. Professional staff very friendly made us feel comfortable and what to expect. Views were breathtaking and it lasted long enough for about 45 mins. Jack our buss driver was fun and timely. Jay our pilot really made it very easy to relax on flight and take pictures move around. Landing was smooth. The vineyards was beautiful and breakfast wholesome
Go for it guys worth every penny and minute
