Picture yourself in the balloon basket. You’re floating with effortless ease over patchwork country and city landscapes. Then, as dawn breaks, a breathtaking view gently unfolds before you. The heritage city of Ipswich, Great Dividing Range mountains, Brisbane city skyline, Scenic Rim and Somerset countryside. Everything’s just more magical when you’re looking at it from a hot air balloon.
You can now experience the romance of flying with our most 1-hour popular balloon package - park for free at our central city meeting point. Our Chief pilot takes you up, bringing his passion and experience to your voyage. His in-depth knowledge of the local region, humour and storytelling make this in-flight commentary informative and entertaining.
