Things to Know Before Booking
Book early: Mother’s Day and Father’s Day weekends are among our busiest times of the year.
Early start: Flights depart before sunrise — we recommend staying nearby the night before.
What to wear: Dress warmly and comfortably with flat, closed shoes.
Height of the basket: About 120 cm high — guests must be able to climb in and stand for about one hour.
Weather: Ballooning is weather-dependent. If conditions aren’t safe, flights are rescheduled or refunded.
How to Make It Extra Special
Add a champagne breakfast or vineyard lunch.
Include a personal note or custom gift card.
Capture the experience with professional flight photos.
Wrap the voucher with a simple message: “Because you’ve lifted us all these years — now it’s your turn to fly.”
Celebrate Mum & Dad in a Whole New Way
A hot air balloon flight isn’t just a gift — it’s an experience full of wonder, laughter, and connection.
Whether it’s drifting above Melbourne’s skyline or watching the Yarra Valley glow at sunrise, it’s a way to show love in the most memorable way possible.
Because the best gifts aren’t things — they’re moments shared together, high above the world.
