Equally thrilling and relaxing, a hot-air ballooning adventure 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 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.

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.

Wonderful to view the world from above having the peace away from the world below and feeling the warmth from above of the jets inflating the balloon. Well worth the time. The champagne breakfast to follow was fantastic and the venue breath taking

This experience was life affirming and helped us celebrate my Uncle's 80th birthday party in a very positive manner. The beautiful breakfast and conversation after our flight was the icing on the cake!
