Gold Coast hot-air balloon flight with sunrise views, hotel transfers, vineyard breakfast, wine tasting, photos, and alpaca visit.

“Great Trip! The weather was wonderful with clear skies allowing us to see very far into the distance. The crew as friendly as well and made the trip entertaining. It would have been better if the basket had a door access rather than having us climb into the basket as my mom had some difficulties doing so with her ankle problem. Overall, a unforgettable experience that's a must do if you are in the area!!”

7.Hot Air Balloon with Breakfast & CBD Transfers

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 14 reviews · 6h 30m · from $383

Float over Yarra Valley at sunrise, enjoy GoPro photos and a buffet breakfast, with transfers from Melbourne CBD included.

“Staff worked well to ensure our safety and timeliness of the itinerary. They also helped to take nice photos! The hot air balloon ride was smooth and enjoyable. Do take note that some or all of us have to help with set-up / keeping the hot air balloon (when we landed it was in a lovely field with cow poo) so please wear appropriate shoes. I personally enjoyed the experience! Minus one star for the buffet breakfast, not worth the top up as selection was not great (plus some were not refilled after it ran out, probably as it was close to closing time) and service ended around 30 min…”
