Your professional tour guides will deliver you to the launch site pre-dawn for you to witness the impressive scene of balloons being inflated. When the balloon is ready, step into the basket with your experienced pilot; feel the peace and serenity of floating above the countryside, see the rolling hills and open fields, set against the stunning backdrop of the rising sun. There is nothing in the world like the feeling of floating gently above the earth.

The spread of the Gold Coast hinterland—its vineyards, pastures, and forest—can only be taken in from the air, which is hard to arrange yourself.

Come back down to a buffet breakfast with sparkling wine at a local vineyard.

Seeing the Atherton Tablelands' rainforest, wetlands, and waterfalls in one sweep isn't possible from the ground. Drift over them by hot-air balloon from Cairns instead, taking in the bush, the ranges, and the wildlife below as the light comes up. Your pilot points out the landscape's geology and history along the way, so you get the story behind what you're looking at, not just the view.

Get a different perspective on the Gold Coast by soaring over it in a hot air balloon.

You have the option of helping to pack the balloon up afterward and will also receive a photo and movie package.
