Product Details
Help get the massive hot air balloon ready for flight, or stand back and watch the fantastic spectacle unfold. You'll want to capture this amazing process with your camera.
Once the hot air balloon is fully inflated, you'll step in, lift off and drift over the gorgeous Yarra Valley as it wakes.
During first light, you can enjoy the area's beauty as you soar over a patchwork of vines on rolling hills and surrounded by mountains.
Hot air ballooning over the Yarra Valley takes on a unique feel in these early morning hours, and we'll soak it up.
Afterwards, help pack away our beautiful balloon or if you'd like, sit back and watch as the balloon deflates.

Reviews
Ballooning was a blast! Our child loved it and our pilot Dave was the best. Would recommend to anyone visiting Yarra Valley.

We had a great time from the time we arrived to meet the pilot to the time we landed and enjoyed the buffet. It was incredibly quiet when the flame wasn't going and the views of the Yarra were second to none. Thanks to all.
