Explore The Gold Coast from Up Above

There's something romantic about drifting over the rim of the Gold Coast on a hot-air balloon journey. Once you arrive at the launch pad, you get to see the impressive scene of balloons being inflated before your flight. Once it's ready, step into your hot air balloon and fall in love with the charming views of rolling hills and open fields, set against the stunning backdrop of the rising sun. On one hand, you have sweeping views of the hinterland, and on the other, a spectacular view of the Gold Coast skyline dotted with towering buildings - it's the best of both worlds! When you slowly glide down to the landing point, you will be taken for a delicious, freshly-cooked breakfast at O'Reilley's, where you can celebrate with sparkling wine and receive your flight certificate before heading back to the hotel.
