Review of Melbourne’s sunrise hot air balloon ride, with skyline views, MCG sights, breakfast options, pricing, and practical booking advice.

“It was one of the best experiences I have done. They kept update the information we need to know before the flight. The Balloon ride was so smooth and comfortable. It was really awesome to see skyscrapers from above. Assisting post-fly preparation was fun. In addition, Dom the Captain was answered whatever questions we had, he is really helpful, kind, and funny. And thanks to Riley as well. He coached us how/what to do during post-fly preparation. I will definitely do this again when I visit Melbourne! Thanks million Dom, and Riley, and rest of crews 😃”
