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 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.

Having our heads in the clouds with a pilot whose feet are firmly on the ground (figuratively!) was a buzz, and seeing the ground with an uninterrupted 360 view from a balloon is much better than from a chopper or plane.

The whole day was great, there wasn't too much waiting around before we were in the air. The ride it's self was peaceful, enjoyable and fun. The breakfast was delicious with more selection than I have ever been offered! The only down fall is the flame is quite hot so bring a hat and a removable jacket

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!

A great ,life lasting experience handled by a very professional and experienced crew. Worth getting up for at such a early hour. Breath taking and beautiful Melbourne at 2,500 feet ,words just don't do this experience justice.

Whole experience was fantastic, bumpy tipped- over basket landing was icing on the cake! Breakfast at Sofitel was excellent too. Thanks to our pilot Rob for memorable family outing.
