Equally thrilling and relaxing, a hot-air ballooning adventure for couples is a romantic and unforgettable experience – especially over the beautiful city of Melbourne. Depending on the wind direction you may make a tranquil hot-air balloon flight over the CBD and the Yarra River, or over the inner suburbs, parks and gardens. The still morning air makes flying conditions perfect during what is known in the hot-air ballooning industry as the "weather window", a gloriously peaceful time over an often hectic city.

The weekday hot-air ballooning journey for 2 people begins with a briefing by the pilot before you head to the launch site and, if you like, help prepare the hot-air balloon for flight. Thirty minutes later you'll be drifting gracefully over the countryside. The hot-air ballooning flight itself will last around one hour.

The icing on the cake is a sumptuous Champagne breakfast at the Sofitel Hotel - the perfect way to toast your hot-air ballooning adventure. The Sofitel Hotel is also the meeting point for the adventure, although pick-ups are available at all major hotels/motels within the CBD. 

This adventure is for 2 people and the price displayed above is per person. There will be other people in the balloon basket with you.

We had an absolute ball on our Balloon flight with Pciture This Ballooning. They were extremely professional and provided us with more than enough information to ensure the day went smoothly. Their staff are wonderfully helpful and friendly. We cant wait to do it again!

My wife and I really enjoyed the experience. Floating over Melbourne CBD was a marvelleous, seeing the major sites from the air was very inspirational and educational. The pilot and ground crew were exceptional, very knowledgeable and informative. We would recommend the experience to all!

Was awesome thanks

The two Peters from Picture This were absolutely fantastic and very professional. From the moment we arrived at the Sofital we were greeted with coffee and made to feel at ease. The balloon flight was spectacular and we were blessed to have perfect weather. Being involved with the setting up and packing up of the balloon was also part of the adventure. And of course returning to a sumptuous breakfast was just the icing on the cake. I have already mentioned and encouraged friends of mine to go ballooning such was the positive and memorable experience that we enjoyed. Thank you to all.
