How to Make the Most of Your Hot Air Balloon Voucher
A hot air balloon voucher is more than a ticket.
It is a memorable experience waiting to happen.
Whether you received it as a gift for your birthday, anniversary, or another special occasion, here is how to make the most of it and enjoy your perfect sunrise adventure.
1. Check the Details on Your Voucher
Before booking, take a moment to read your voucher carefully.
You will find important information such as:
The flight location, usually Melbourne or the Yarra Valley
Whether a champagne breakfast or transfers are included
The expiry date and booking instructions
Most vouchers are valid for at least twelve months, so there is no rush to book immediately.
If your voucher is close to expiring, contact our team and we can help extend it depending on the policy.
2. Choose Your Location
Your voucher can usually be used for flights over either Melbourne or the Yarra Valley.
Melbourne City: Enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the skyline, the Yarra River, the MCG, and the Royal Botanic Gardens.
Yarra Valley: Experience peaceful countryside, vineyards, and misty valleys as the sun rises over the hills.
Both are beautiful, and your choice depends on whether you prefer a cityscape or a natural landscape.
3. Pick the Best Time of Year
Ballooning operates year-round, and each season has its own charm.
Summer: Clear mornings and warm light.
Autumn: Calm air and golden vineyards, perfect for photos.
Winter: Crisp, still conditions with some of the best visibility.
Spring: Green hills, colourful flowers, and bright skies.
Booking during cooler months often gives you the most reliable weather and smaller crowds.
4. Book Early for Weekends and Events
Weekend mornings and public holidays fill up quickly.
Book your preferred date at least a few weeks in advance to secure your spot, especially if you plan to fly on a birthday, anniversary, or festive weekend.
If you are flexible, weekday flights usually have more availability and quieter baskets.
5. Allow Flexibility for Weather
Hot air ballooning depends on calm and safe flying conditions.
If the weather is not suitable, your flight will be rescheduled to another date.
This is very common and ensures you fly only in perfect conditions.
If you are visiting Melbourne, try to book early in your trip so you have extra days available if rescheduling is needed.
6. Make It a Full Experience
Your voucher can be part of a full day of adventure.
In Melbourne, enjoy a city brunch or explore the laneways after your flight.
In the Yarra Valley, stay for wine tasting, cheese platters, or a relaxing lunch at a local winery.
You can also upgrade your voucher to include a champagne breakfast or add a private flight for a special occasion.
7. Capture the Memories
In-flight photos and video are included with your ticket, so you can focus on enjoying the moment.
Bring a phone or small camera for extra shots, and do not forget to take group photos after landing.
It is a morning worth remembering, and the photos will be a beautiful keepsake.
8. Redeem Easily
Booking your flight is simple.
Visit our website, choose your flight location and date, and enter your voucher code during checkout.
Once confirmed, you will receive a booking email with meeting details, time, and everything you need to know for the morning.
Our friendly team is always available to help if you have any questions during the booking process.
