Finding the right gift for Mum or Dad isn’t always easy — but an unforgettable hot air balloon flight makes it simple.
It’s meaningful, unique, and filled with the kind of memories that last a lifetime.

Whether you want to say thank you, celebrate together, or surprise them with something truly special, a sunrise balloon flight over Melbourne or the Yarra Valley is the perfect gift for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.

Why a Balloon Flight Makes the Perfect Gift

  • It’s something different: Forget flowers or socks — give an experience they’ll never forget.

  • Shared moments: Parents can fly together, or you can join them for a family adventure.

  • All budgets covered: Choose between city or countryside flights, with options to add breakfast, champagne, or photos.

  • Lasting memories: Ballooning is quiet, calm, and beautiful — a heartfelt way to show appreciation.

Gift Options

2. Shared Experience for Two

A romantic or family-friendly option for both parents to enjoy together. They’ll share the magic of sunrise in the sky — side by side.

3. Family Package

Turn the flight into a full celebration for the whole family, followed by an optional champagne breakfast or a vineyard lunch.

4. Private Flight Upgrade

Digital vouchers are available, making them ideal for last-minute surprises. They can be personalised and emailed instantly, ready to print or forward with a message like “Next stop: the sky!”

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.
