Product Details
Start your morning in the sky as you drift quietly above Ipswich, the Scenic Rim, Somerset countryside and the Brisbane skyline.
This is a sunrise adventure with a romantic side, made even better by the commentary of Chief Pilot Graeme, who brings decades of local flying knowledge, humour and storytelling to every flight.
The package includes an approximate one-hour balloon flight, a restaurant breakfast upon landing, transportation during the experience, optional assistance with inflation and deflation, and a commemorative flight certificate.
It is a boutique experience with a maximum of 10 passengers, so it feels personal rather than packed. You can also add digital flight photos and extra breakfast guests. If you are planning a special occasion or group outing, this one has a real lift to it, in every sense.

Frequently asked questions
What should I wear for a balloon flight?
How many people can join a hot air balloon flight?
The number of participants in a hot air balloon flight varies by operator and package. Some baskets carry 10, 12, 16, 20, or even 22 passengers, while others have minimum group requirements or offer private flights. Check the details for your chosen flight to see the exact capacity and whether the experience is shared or private.
What weather is required for ballooning?
Weather plays a crucial role in hot-air ballooning, as flights depend heavily on suitable conditions. Calm winds, clear skies, and stable atmospheric conditions are ideal for safe and enjoyable flights. Pilots may postpone or reschedule flights if the weather is too windy, rainy, or otherwise unsafe, ensuring passenger safety is always the top priority.
Reviews
Absolutely brilliant morning over Ipswich with cracking views of Greater Brisbane. The flight was smooth, the team was lovely, and breakfast afterwards was spot on. We'd happily do it again.
