Melbourne Ballooning Flight

It's a wonderful thing, to be able to give someone the experience of a lifetime over Melbourne. At Global Ballooning Australia, we've shared a sunrise with over 100,000 people in 32 balloons over 27 years.

There's no need to travel far, and no better way to see the world's most liveable city. Sail the breeze beside sparkling skyscrapers and follow the Yarra River as it unwinds through parks and gardens. For an hour, it's just you and the sky. This is what freedom feels like; you have nowhere to be but here. Melbourne is just waking up – and you've already ticked something off your bucket list! It starts with an alarm that draws you from your bed and dares you to meet the dawn. Your adventure starts before the city stirs, birdsong begins as giant balloons inflate and you find yourself drawn to the heat of the flame. As the earth falls away, you rise with the sun.

After we complete our pre-flight routine, we will float up and away for a spectacular one-hour hot air balloon flight.

Start/opening time

Please note the exact time and flight direction will vary depending on weather conditions.

Others

The flight will either be over the city or around the surrounds of the city. We cannot guarantee a flight directly over the city due to the change of wind direction.
