Tour Description
Experience the thrill and romance of a hot air ballooning flight over the beautiful Yarra Valley and surrounds with Australia's oldest & most experienced balloon operator. We meet approx 30 minutes before first light, where you will have a chance to freshen up before you are driven to the launch site for your hot air ballooning experience.
You can help with the inflation or stand back and capture the moment on photo as the hot air balloon comes to life and takes shape. With the blast of a burner, the hot air balloon rises into the light of morning, floating gently over the stunning landscapes of the Yarra valley. Time seems to stand still as you are suspended between earth and sky.
You will spend around one hour drifting over the valley before returning to land all too soon. After packing up the hot air balloon you are driven back to Balgownie Vineyard Resort and Spa to enjoy a superb 5 star gourmet champagne breakfast. You can relax and chat with your pilot as you enjoy your sumptuous breakfast.
