This approx. 1-hour hot air ballooning flight takes you over the centre of the Melbourne CBD and surrounding suburbs and comes with delicious sparkling breakfast making for one of the most unforgettable Melbourne sightseeing adventures available! Hot air ballooning over Melbourne will grant you views of Australia's second-largest city that few others get to see, and on this flight, you'll depart early in the morning when the air is at its clearest visibility at its highest, joining your friendly balloon operators and hopping in the basket before ascending up, up and away over the iconic city skyline.

From the complete tranquillity of the air, depending on the wind direction, you may fly over Melbourne's most famous highlights such as the MCG, Shrine of Remembrance, Botanical Gardens, St. Paul's Cathedral, Rod Laver Arena OR over the suburbs with a view of the city - be sure to bring your camera along for the ride as you'll be able to get photos of each of these from high above that your friends and family are sure to be jealous of!
