A hot air balloon ride was on the bucket list for myself and my husband and this experience didn’t disappoint. The views and watching the sunrise was spectacular. The staff throughout were friendly, knowledgeable and fun. Huge thanks to them all. I would highly recommend this to anyone, it was a wonderful experience

The team will really appreciate your kind words. Hope we can welcome you back to Cairns for another adventure someday! 🌅✨
Fun, majestic, safe, professional, spectacular. These are a few adjectives to describe our amazing first time balloon experience. The staff and organisation of this company is exceptional. Such great communication and care shown to all participants and well worth the early morning effort to be a part of this fun and unique morning. HABC are a very professional and caring team. Highly recommended for all ages.
We love your choice of adjectives, Liz! 🥰🎉 Congratulations on your first hot air balloon experience, and we're grateful you chose us to fly with. Hope your future flights are as enjoyable! 🙌🎈
What an amazing experience for my first ever hot air ballon ride. It was great and everyone on the tour was very friendly. The staff from pick up at my airport to my departure was very friendly. What a fun early morning and great ending with some mimosas and snacks.
Thanks for sharing your FIRST hot air balloon experience, maciasm1983! We're thrilled to hear your hot air balloon ride was a success and that our team made it even more special from start to finish. Celebratory mimosas are the perfect way to kick off the day. 🤩 Cheers to many more memorable flights! 🥂🎈🌅
Actually it was my wife who took the trip, an inspired choice as a present from family and friends for her 80th Birthday . From the pick up to return to our accommodation the staff were amazing, the flight over the Atherton Tablelands exhilarating and exciting. The finishing touch of a gift from Hot Air to remember her trip provided the exclamation mark. Certainly a major contender for anyone's bucket list.
We appreciate the wonderful feedback, brianbO3324OY! Thanks so much for celebrating your wife's 80th birthday with a hot air balloon flight - what a fantastic memory! 🤩🎉🎈🌅🥂
