Melbourne sunrise balloon flight & champagne breakfast
Description
For things to do in Melbourne, a hot air balloon flight over Melbourne is a breathtaking way to see the highlights of our city. Melbourne’s famous attractions are an unforgettable experience from the air: the MCG, the Shrine of Remembrance, the Albert Park Formula 1 racetrack and the Yarra River winding its way through the suburbs. As you float peacefully in the morning sky, you will experience a side of Melbourne that few people have seen – the birds-eye view. A hot air balloon flight over Melbourne city is a sensational and luxurious way to see the iconic views of our city. It’s also amazingly rare - there are very few cities in the world that have hot air balloons flying over them.

Fantastic morning couldn't have asked for better weather I don't know how they organized it. Victoria and Dougal were great, very knowledgeable and had great stories. It was interesting learning how they choose a landing zone and how they steer by going up and down, as much as you can steer a balloon. Victor made us feel comfortable coming in for the landing at Moorabbin Airport and no question was too much for Dougal. Highly recommend this company and Victor and Dougal. Craig & Meagan Hughes
Hi Craig & Meagan Thanks so much, Craig & Meagan! We’re glad you had such a fantastic morning and that Viktor and Angus made the experience both enjoyable and informative. It’s great to hear you felt comfortable throughout, especially during the landing. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again in the future! Warm regards, Tracy & the team at PTB
Everything about the flight was seamless from the balloon setup and launch to the perfect landing. Many thanks to Anton and Peter for making our trip a memorable experience with excellent views of the city of Melbourne. Wish we could have stayed up for longer. Our experience was topped off with a lavish champagne breakfast. More than happy to recommend a flight with Picture This Ballooning.

Hello Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re thrilled to hear you had a fantastic experience with our friendly and professional crew. Warm regards, Tracy & the team at PTB
Absolutely fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime experience! Our pilot, Dominic, and technician, Hondo, were terrific, really friendly and helpful, and expert at the craft. We were blessed with a gorgeous sunrise, calm winds, and a super soft, skilled landing (not bumpy at all). Not cheap, but it's definitely worth it for the experience. Topped off with a delicious, champagne buffet breakfast at No 35 at the Sofitel. Dreadfully early wake-up, but it's well worth it.
Hi Thank you for your wonderful review. We are so glad you had such a fantastic experience with Dominic and Hendo and enjoyed the beautiful sunrise and smooth landing.

Perfect morning for a hot air balloon flight. Dom (our pilot) and Hando (our crew) were excellent. Dom explained things while were flying and pointed out landmarks. We were involved with the set up and pack down. It was a fun morning finished off with a delicious breakfast with champagne up on the 35th floor of the Sofitel. Thanks for a great morning
