I have always wanted to try Hot Air Ballooning and finally had the chance this weekend. It was everything I hoped and so much more. The staff were extremely professionally and lots of fun we felt so well taken care of. Ryan and Bob are legends. Mareeba is the perfect spot to fly the valley is so beautiful. The sunrise was breath taking. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone and hope to get the chance to fly again one day. Thanks for a very memorable family experience, one I think even our teenagers will remember and appreciate.

Was on our bucket list to do on our Honeymoon. Pilots great. Made u feel at ease very comfortable. Such an incredible experience to glide slowly through the sky. Brilliant landing. Glass of champagne, or juice or water when landing. Great way to finish off with photos of pilots to finish. Highly recommend this company.

Fantastic experience hot air ballooning!
Fun, laughter, safe and really well communicated to while up in the air!!
We went with our two children, aged 9 and 13 and we had a ball
It was certainly an early start, leaving port Douglas at around 4:30am. Well worth it though. There is breakfast available at the meeting point , that you may want to return to later. It’s good!
