Hot Air Ballooning - Brisbane, Weekend
Equally thrilling and relaxing, a hot-air ballooning adventure is a pure and unforgettable experience – especially over the beautiful city of Brisbane. Depending on the wind direction, your flight will take you over the river allowing unparalleled views of the spectacular Brisbane skyline, beautiful parks and gardens, tree lined suburbs and rolling countryside. 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 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.
After gently touching down again a hot air ballooning flight certificate is distributed to all passengers, rounding off a fabulous adventure. The icing on the cake is a sumptuous Champagne breakfast – the perfect way to toast your hot-air ballooning adventure.
