Your professional tour guides will deliver you to the launch site pre-dawn for you to witness the impressive scene of balloons being inflated. When the balloon is ready, step into the basket with your experienced pilot; feel the peace and serenity of floating above the countryside, see the rolling hills and open fields, set against the stunning backdrop of the rising sun. There is nothing in the world like the feeling of floating gently above the earth. Breathe in the fresh air, enjoy sweeping views of the famous Gold Coast Hinterland and Scenic Rim on one side then look towards the coast to see the skyline dotted with towering buildings - it's the best of both worlds! Your very experienced pilots will slowly guide the balloon down to the landing point, where the fun continues, we all pitch in and fold up the balloon itself, have a laugh and take some more photos. Finally we head to for a delicious hot breakfast, continental buffet beachside view

We had a great time the pilot and the bus driver were both fantastic!
Great to hear you had such a fun morning 🎈 A fantastic pilot and driver really do make the whole experience that much more memorable. Thanks for joining us in the Gold Coast hinterland!
Amazing! Absolutely worth the 3am alarm clock. The whole experience was fantastic, from being collected at my doorstep in a modern, comfortable bus, to the brilliant hosts Selena and Wayne, and our pilot Dhawal, who made the entire experience feel uplifting and very safe - with plenty of laughs along the way. The takeoff and flight over the Scenic Rim were spectacular, followed by a smooth landing and a fun experience helping the team pack up the balloon. We then enjoyed an old-school country trailer ride through the paddocks back to the bus, complete with champagne, before finishing with a beautiful buffet breakfast at Akoya Restaurant within The Langham. An absolutely brilliant morning from start to finish. I’d definitely do it again! Thank you! 🎈🥂
Thanks so much! 🎈 We’re thrilled the early start was well worth it. Selena, Wayne and Dhawal will love hearing your kind words - especially knowing you felt safe, relaxed and had plenty of laughs along the way! So glad you enjoyed the spectacular Scenic Rim flight, bubbles and breakfast at Akoya Restaurant 🥂✨ We’d love to welcome you back again!
