Hot air ballooning on a perfect morning with the sun rising and the full moon setting. Wed, Jan 11, 2012. Our pilot, Jay, was just amazing! It was a truly magical experience.

We both really enjoyed after the flight when we helped pack up, and touched parts of the balloon that we never would be able to usually and the balloon pilots were hilarious. Yes there was a little dirt and dew, so wear things you're not afraid to get dirty in. It was such a good experience! I want to do it again, next time with my bestie!

it was my first time in Australia, and my first time in a Hot Air Balloon. I was excited, and able to participate easily thanks to the Japanese ballooning guide. As we were on the second flight we didn't see the sunrise, but to see the grand Australian scene was impressive.

Last Friday was great weather, driving from Port Douglas it was easy to find the meeting spot and we were able to truly enjoy the inspiring scenery seen from the balloon. The basket was stable, and I was able to concentrate only on the vista of the Atherton Tablelands spreading in every direction. The view from the sky has a different charm to being on the ground, pretty special.
