Discover Victoria’s beauty from above during a 60 minute hot air balloon flight at sunrise. Wake up to beautiful views of the city as you float peacefully in the skies.

A sunrise hot air balloon flight in Melbourne is a memorable way to begin the day. The flight will last for 1 hour and you can finish off the luxe experience with an optional 5 star champagne breakfast. This is the perfect way to discover a new city or celebrate a special occasion.
Location
What you need to know
- Ballooning is one of the most weather dependant activities you can participate in. We do not steer or drive a balloon, we navigate the winds at different altitudes with the use of the burners to heat up the air inside the envelope (the balloon part of the aircraft) to go higher or by releasing the hot air with the parachute (the very top of the balloon) to descend. Some times during landing the basket and balloon can lay over horizontally, this is a completely normal and safe landing, your pilot will advise you the safe landing position that everyone will be required to practice before take off. There are some fun taks you are welcome to participate in during the inflation and deflation portions of the experience, if you are eager to get involved let our staff know, or sit back and watch the magic unfold.
