Engaged in the sky

5 for the ride, did this today, our son proposed to his girlfriend, lucky for her she excepted, bit of a drop from 1400 ft, was just such a polished outfit from start to finish, safety a priority, and still made sure every one had a great time, ticked that one off now, could not have been happier with the whole day, cheers to the crew, big thanks.

We had such an exciting time with Harry our pilot and Storm. The day was crisp with perfect conditions for flying. The views were incredible, we saw all the way to Melbourne. We always felt safe and the sunrise was glorious. Well worth the experience.

So far the greatest experience

One of the best thing we did while in Melbourne. Lost my iPhone during folding of the balloon even though the pilot clearly warned us about losing stuff when folding the balloon. So it's my fault hehe. Hope they find it. Besides that, everything went perfectly well thanks to the wild ballooning team.

Operator response
