This was quite literally one of the best experiences of my life. Even the pictures don't do it justice. To rise up and float over Melbourne on a beautiful Spring morning was so amazing. Pato and his helpers were awesome. What an enriching and beautiful experience. I'll treasure this for the rest of my life. Will definitely do this again when I visit Melbourne next time.

Get bird's eye views of Melbourne and its surroundings at sunrise as you float over the city in a hot air balloon or around the city. The flight is determined by the wind direction, therefore we cannot promise to fly you directly over the city. For approximately an hour, it's just you, the sky, and Melbourne's captivating sights. Help to inflate the hot air balloon at the start of your once-in-a-lifetime experience. Step into the balloon and watch the legendary city landmarks gradually appear on the horizon with the sunrise. As you ascend above Melbourne, take in the breathtaking views of the iconic MCG, the picturesque Port Phillip Bay, and the striking Eureka Tower. Serenely float above the meandering Yarra River, gliding past sparkling skyscrapers and lush parks, all while admiring the beauty of this stylish metropolis from an unparalleled vantage point.

For a full hour, it's just you, the sky, and Melbourne's captivating sights. Listen to the chirping birds and embrace the comforting heat of the flame that propels you higher. Completing this magical adventure, indulge in a buffet breakfast at the luxurious 5-star Pullman Melbourne on the Park hotel. As the city comes alive, you can proudly tick off this extraordinary hot air balloon ride from your bucket list, forever cherishing the memories of your soaring journey above Melbourne.
