What To Expect

Hot Air Balloon Cairns

You will be met by our professional driver at your pick up location to be transfered to your Hot Air Balloon ride.

As the day begins, you will experience a wonderful hot air balloon flight above the Atherton Tablelands, Australia.

After your flight and landing, enjoy games and lots of laughs as your pilot, crew and driver lead the fun of packing up your hot air balloon.

Your hot air balloon experience finish time varies with the seasons (summer, winter and the time of sunrise). Your driver can drop you back to your Cairns accommodation or, with prior notice, we can drop you off to the Cairns Reef Fleet Terminal, Skyrail, Tjapukai or perhaps a Cairns cafe or restaurant if you would like to have breakfast at your own arrangements.

Atherton Tablelands

The Atherton Tablelands is the area over which we fly our hot air balloons. You will experience this area at dawn - the best time of the day to spot wallabies, kangaroos, many different species of birds, and other wildlife. In addition, you may fly over many different crops as The Tablelands are known for their fruit and vegetable produce. Keep an eye out for crops of mangoes, bananas, lychees, avocados, pineapples, limes and more.

An amazing experience with spectacular views!

A fantastic experience , well -organised and found the video before the balloon flight helpful in explaining what to wear and expect.The crew were great, from pickup at the hotel by Tori to Bob who flew our balloon. Would recommend this to anyone as was very memorable!

Didn’t even realise this was a bucket list item for us until we done it - would recommend

Really enjoyed this experience. We hadn’t planned to do this on our trip (as we hadn’t thought about it before coming to Australia) but after seeing it and reading the reviews we decided to book it. My partner is afraid of heights and even he enjoyed it - you are safe and secure at all times. We were in good hands with Pilot Bob who is exceptional at his job and knowledge of the Tablelands and he was great at sharing information on how hot air ballooning works. It is worth the early start - seeing sunset from the sky. Tony, Roy and pilot Bob were great spirits and were never short of a joke. The glass of bubbles at the end were a good way to finish off. You get your pictures taken on the day and these are shared with you (free of charge!!) after the trip.

Amazing experience

I'm glad I listened to the other reviews - I am scared of heights but honestly the ride is so smooth, you hardly notice. There are also handles you can hang on to so that felt a little more secure. Really great staff. Definitely dress appropriately, you will be landing in a field and will help with the balloon afterwards.

Scared of heights but loved being up there

The experience was a great way to see the Atherton tableland with the pilot Josh and the land crew of Susie and Tony make the trip a memorable time . I would recommend this a trip for all

Unexpected bucket list item.

Bob B, 28-10-2022

This experience was included in our travel package and while taking a ride in a basket hanging from a balloon was not on our bucket list it certainly was added then ticked. The experience from the pickup to the end was brilliant. We had Frank and he was just great, knew everything about piloting one of the biggest balloons you could fly in. He was that good he was picking his landing spot from what seemed to be 200-250 feet up and he landed what was a small bus within a metre of where he said. The ground crew were also excellent.

Highly recommend this experience and would do it again.
