What you can expect
You'll be picked up before sunrise and brought to the balloon launch site to watch your balloon inflate. Once it’s ready, step into the basket and be transported above the trees with your experienced pilot. Take in the sights of the rainforest-covered hills, mountains, and tablelands as the sun begins to rise. At the end of your flight, help roll up the balloon and enjoy a toast to your flight with a glass of sparkling wine.
Don’t forget to pack your swimmers for the Splash & Slide Waterfalls Tour. This half-day experience will take you through the panoramas of Queensland’s highest peaks, cane fields, and pristine rainforest on your way to Josephine Falls and then Babinda Boulders, where a tropical picnic lunch will be served. Here, your guide will explain the history of this culturally significant site, and you can enjoy a leisurely afternoon swim, rest, or further exploration before returning to Cairns.
