Cairns Hot Air Balloon Ride

Enjoy a unique experience and see the beauty of Australia through this Cairns hot air balloon ride.

Tour Details

Early in the morning, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Cairns and take you to a clearing for the hot air balloon ride, which lasts approximately one hour.

You'll witness the balloons being inflated and climb into the basket for an aerial adventure.

As we soar into the sky, you'll enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Atherton Plateau and its mountains surrounded by jungle. After around 40 minutes of flying, we'll descend and return to your hotel.

Hot Air Balloon + Funicular and Panoramic Train Ride

For a complete experience, consider the option that includes a funicular and panoramic train ride.

After the balloon ride, we'll head to the Skyrail station and board a funicular for panoramic views of Cairns and the Kuranda Ranges.

We'll walk through the forest to the second funicular at the Red Peak stop and reach the Barron Falls station, where we can visit the interpretation centre.

Then, we'll proceed to the town of Kuranda for some free time to explore markets and attractions like the Butterfly Sanctuary or Kuranda River.

Next, we'll take the panoramic train along the mining railway line down the Macalistar Range for a 1.5-hour journey viewing Barron Falls. Finally, we'll arrive at Cairns Central Station after a total of 12 hours.
