Melbourne By Balloon
Additional Information
Non-flying guests are welcome to join you for breakfast. The cost is $35 for adults and $25 for children under 12. Please make breakfast reservations the day before the flight and at that stage we can give you some idea of what time breakfast is likely to be.
There is just one thing that we can't control for you - and that is Melbourne 's weather. Part of the old-fashioned charm of ballooning is that it remains utterly dependent on nature.
For us to fly and for you to enjoy the experience we need light winds and good visibility. Some mornings may look good but even then fast upper winds make a balloon flight unsafe.
