Spend a memorable morning in the sky and cross an item off your bucket list on this hot air balloon flight, operated by one of the top-rated ballooning companies in Australia. After early morning pickup at your Gold Coast hotel, travel to the launch site and climb aboard a sturdy basket attached to a state-of-the-art balloon that stretches to 10 stories high when inflated with hot air.

As you rise off the ground, get an unbeatable perspective of the Gold Coast hinterland while soaring over forests, pastures, vineyards, and lakes. Your onboard guide points out passing attractions during your flight (choose flight length option at booking).

After touching down, take part in the fun task of packing up the giant balloon before heading off to O'Reilly’s homestead and vineyard for a savory home-cooked breakfast. Feast on Aussie favorites like bacon, eggs, and sausage served with fresh fruit, pastries, coffee, and tea, topped off with a glass of sparkling wine. Enjoy time to explore the beautiful estate and vineyards, and visit the cellar door to see how O’Reilly’s makes its award-winning wines.

At the end of your unforgettable morning, relax on the return drive to your hotel

Mark W

I organised a hot air balloon ride as a surprise for my partners 40th Birthday. Prior to booking, I read reviews about this company and was amazed by the quantity of positive feedback of this company which sold me. From the time we were picked up, to board flying, landing and dining, the company were extremely organised, and all workers worked extremely well together as a team showing great professionalism, and considering safety at all times. As we were enjoying our champagne breakfast, my partner was presented with a surprise birthday cake and fabulous singing, which was a really nice touch. We would really like to thank Ben the pilot and to getting us all as high in the air as possible!, Tony who chauffeured and fascilitated the morning, and Gav the groundsman who prepped and packed away the massive hot air balloon. It was truely a fantastic experience made possible by the team, and will be forever memorable. Highly recommend.

Advaith_P

This was me and my husband's first time on a Hot Air Balloon and it was quite a unique experience. Hot Air Gold Coast has a very professional team who know what they are doing. Unfortunately, there was no much wind the day we went up in a balloon. Inspite of that, it was a very nice experience slowing bobbing in the air looking around the farmlands. The highlight was watching a mob of Kangaroos skipping along below us. Such a happy feeling seeing them in their natural habitat like that. The breakfast after the ballooning was a decent meal. Overall, it is something you should definitely try while at Gold Coast.

This has been on my bucket list for a long time, and the box has been ticked, it was the best experience I have ever had in the air, after the nerves had settled and I had let go of the rail, I was able to enjoy the ride, oh and the view from the balloon, what can I say, it was absolutely amazing, the pilot Blake, he was amazing, made the ride very enjoyable. So glad I did it, an unforgettable adventure.

Great Trip! The weather was wonderful with clear skies allowing us to see very far into the distance. The crew as friendly as well and made the trip entertaining. It would have been better if the basket had a door access rather than having us climb into the basket as my mom had some difficulties doing so with her ankle problem. Overall, a unforgettable experience that's a must do if you are in the area!!

Beautiful experience... Saw the balloon inflating and deflating. Every this was great about this tour, and best part is landing. Our tour guide was very nice... as a sweet gesture gave us plastic like shoe cover to protect our shoes as it rained a night before. Everywhere was muddy and slippery. Breakfast is also good.. legs pain standing for 1 hour in balloon but best moments are experienced.

This tour was amazing! Everything was done on time and the driver was friendly and professional. A hot air balloon experience is definitely something everyone should try in their lives. Just when i thought the tour couldnt get better, the buffet breakfast afterwards was simply delightful. It was delicious, offered a good variety and we dined with breathtaking views of nature. Thumbs up for this tour! Worth every cent and worth getting up really early.
