A 10/10 rating truly means the world to us ❤️✨ We hope to welcome you back again someday!
Staff were amazing, experience was beautiful. So worth the money and the early wake up, winery afterwards had amazing food and the alpacas were so cute. Would definitely do this again and recommend anyone thinking about it to do it
Thanks so much, Tamsyn! 🎈 We’re so glad you had a perfect morning with us. Totally agree – the early wake-up is worth it once you’re floating above the hinterland 🌅✨ So happy you loved the winery stop at O’Reilly’s Canungra Valley Vineyards and those adorable alpacas 🥂🦙 We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Would like to thank all the Goldcoast hot air balloon staff, our bus Driver was awesome and alot of laughs, Kevin who helped with the balloon set-up and pack up. And our amazing experienced pilot Jay of 27 years. Hope I got everyone's names right. Was perfect weather, I felt safe the entire time and this was a fantastic memorable experience that was so peaceful. Loved every minute of it. With thanks for a beautiful Balloon ride. Highly recommend.
Thanks so much, Josephine! 🎈 We’re thrilled you had such a peaceful and memorable experience – from perfect weather to a smooth and safe flight. The team will be so happy to hear your kind words (and you nailed the names!). Thanks for the lovely recommendation – we’re so glad you loved every minute! 🥂✨
What an incredible experience from start to finish. The team were so accommodating and made the experience one I’ll never forget. The pick up and drop off was smooth and communication from the team was fantastic. I’d recommend this to anyone! The bubbles at the end really topped it off! Thank you :)
Thanks so much for the kind words! 🎈 We’re thrilled to hear the whole experience was unforgettable from start to finish. The team will be so happy to know they helped make it special – and we totally agree, the bubbles at the end are the perfect finish! 🥂✨
We had an amazing experience. All were very professional and punctual. I had a great time with my family. We were a group of 5, and all appreciated the whole experience. A must try.
Thanks so much for the lovely review! 🎈 We’re so glad you and your family had an amazing time with us – the team will be thrilled to hear your kind words. It’s always extra special to share the skies with loved ones. Thanks again for flying with us! ✨
Overall, tour left a very positive impression. The first attempt was cancelled due to poor weather conditions, but the organizers promptly rescheduled the tour for the next day, and everything went smoothly. I reduced the rating by one point because of the organization after the flight. After landing, guests are asked to wait in the field for about 30 minutes while the crew packs up the balloon. It would be much more comfortable if the transfer picked up guests immediately instead of making them stand in an open field with lots of mosquitoes and midges. In other countries, such as Egypt, this part is organized more efficiently, with guests being picked up right away. Overall, the tour is very good and worth recommending.
Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback! 🎈 We're glad the weather held out for your rescheduled flight and that the experience left a positive impression overall. We appreciate your note about the post-flight wait – it's helpful and something we’ll look into to improve guest comfort. Thanks again for recommending us and flying with us on the Gold Coast! 🌅✨
We floated above the tree top, slowly gaining altitude to watch the sun rise and to witness the play of the sunlight and wind on the ground below. Ever so gently the balloon floated, ascended and descended, as if the pilot was following an invisible wind map. With a gentle nudge to the ground we returned to earth. Jay, our seasoned pilot, was playfully nicknamed “the Wind Whisperer”, by one of the guests, as it seemed as if he was following the whispering of the wind. Champagne followed by a delicious breakfast, wine tasting and a playful time with llamas completed the adventure . Our guide and driver, Selena , took great care in ensuring our comfort and her vivacious personality only added to an already memorable experience!
Thanks so much for the beautiful review, Carmel! 🎈 Your words perfectly capture the magic of the morning – floating gently with the sunrise and the “Wind Whisperer” guiding the way 🌅✨ We’re so glad you enjoyed the champagne breakfast, wine tasting and the playful moments with the llamas at O’Reilly’s Canungra Valley Vineyards 🥂🦙 Selena will be thrilled to hear your kind words – she truly loves making every guest feel at home.
Excellent experience with knowledgeable crew Kelly, Wayne and pilot Dhawar. Was a great morning flight taking in the scenery. Even saw kangaroos.

Very friendly, informative and safety conscious. Rob, the driver of our bus was very entertaining and helpful. Overall, a fun morning.
Thanks so much, Julie! 🎈 We’re thrilled you had a fun and memorable morning with us. Rob will be so pleased to hear your kind words – he always brings great energy and humour to the day! 😊 So glad you enjoyed the full experience, from the flight to the champagne breakfast at O’Reilly’s Canungra Valley Vineyards 🥂✨
