Hot Air Ballooning - Cairns (POB Fee included)
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 half an hour.
After gently touching down again a hot air ballooning flight certificate is distributed to all passengers, rounding off a fabulous adventure.

The adrenalin staff were really well organised - the booking process was so easy. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly my booking was organised and information provided to me so that I didn't have to worry about it.
The ballon ride was amazing and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Everything went according to plan and it was quite an experience!

The staff were fantastic. Even packing up was fun. They were verry safety conscious too. Absolutely loved the experience and we have told all our family and friends. It was worth the early morning wake up. And the views were spectacular.
