Float over Yarra Valley vineyards at sunrise, help set up and land, and get GoPro-style photos sent to your app, plus optional breakfast.
“This trip was great! The staff was excellent preparing and explaining everything to us before and during the flight. The views are breathtaking and they even have a gopro taking pix of you during the flight which was nice. Steve was an outstanding pilot making sure we learned about ballooning and that we enjoyed ourselves. The 3am start time was a little rough but that’s a small price to pay for this adventure. You get to help a little with preparing for the flight and packing up afterwards which was actually fun. I recommend the buffet breakfast at Balgownie Estates afterwards - the food was tasty though after being up…”
