Hot Air Balloon Flight Over Melbourne, Weekend

Good morning, Melbourne. As the sun rises, youll be in a hot air balloon flying over one of the most liveable cities in the world. Naturally, its the best way to start a memorable day.

We meet inside the lobby of Melbourne's iconic Hotel Windsor, on 111 Spring Street. This is where we come back after the flight and where you can enjoy a lovely gourmet breakfast (optional).

Each morning, we decide which launch site is best depending on the wind and weather conditions.

Your flight could start you off from Williamstown. Float you over the city to land in parks by the Eastern Freeway. Or we could take off from Albert Park and fly towards Essendon or Northcote. Or it might be time for a Moorabbin take-off and a landing at Royal Park. So many options to look forward to.

If conditions are not appropriate for flying over the CBD, well look elsewhere. Just know were looking out for your safety. Youll balloon over the largest city in the world where regular flights take place no matter which flight path we take.

See the Yarra River meander past the Australian Open Tennis Centre and the massive MCG. Marvel at the light reflecting off buildings of glass and steel. Admire the many parks and gardens, so beautifully kept. Catch Melbourne at sunrise from the vantage point of a balloon flight! It allows you to witness it in full splendour, for sure.
