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.
