What you can expect
Experience the romance and wonder of floating over the Scenic Rim on a Classic Gold Coast Hinterland Hot Air Balloon flight. Begin the day with an early morning hotel transfer, arriving at the pre-dawn launch site. Enjoy the impressive spectacle of balloons being inflated at dawn before taking flight with mesmerising views of rolling hills and open fields complete with a mind-blowing backdrop of the rising sun and waking wildlife. With views of the sweeping hinterland in one direction and the Gold Coast skyline scattered with towering buildings in the opposite, this is the only Gold Coast hot air ballooning option that provides the best of both worlds.
As you peacefully glide in the breeze to the landing point, prepare yourself for the delicious champagne breakfast that awaits you. After experienced pilots gently touch down, you'll be driven a short distance to an exclusive vineyard and be treated to a delicious spread of fresh pastries and fruits, sizzling bacon and eggs, cereals, juice and of course, a glass of bubbles to toast the incredible morning. At the winery, you'll also receive the gift of a tasting and a bonus alpaca walk and feed experience to complete the day.
The Gold Coast hot air balloon adventure also includes return bus transfers and a complimentary digital photo pack so you can relive the magic of ballooning over and over again.

An experience of a lifetime. This is a must for everyone!
What an amazing experience. The staff were all so engaging and friendly. Our bus driver, Kelly was fun and awesome and our balloon driver, Stuart did an amazing job. The landing didn't go as planned (we ended up in a locked paddock) which just added to the adventure! I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who wants to tick this incredible experience off their bucket list!
