What you can expect
Embark on an unforgettable full-day adventure that begins with a breathtaking hot air balloon ride over Cairns, followed by an exhilarating jet boat experience on the water. Your day kicks off with a pre-dawn pickup from your accommodation, taking you to the balloon launch site where you’ll have the chance to watch as the balloons are inflated. Once the balloon is ready, step into the basket and let your experienced pilot guide you on a peaceful journey above the stunning rainforest-covered hills, mountains, and tablelands at sunrise. From this incredible vantage point, you'll be treated to panoramic views stretching from the Atherton Tablelands to the coastline, with the Great Barrier Reef shimmering in the distance.
After landing, enjoy a light snack and a refreshing glass of sparkling wine, soaking in the serenity of the moment. Then, it’s time for your next thrill: a 35-minute jet boat ride on Cairns’ Trinity Inlet. You’ll be taken to the marina, where the real adventure begins. Hold on tight as your captain delivers high-speed spins, slides, and adrenaline-pumping action, all while sharing fascinating insights about Cairns and the surrounding region. It’s the perfect combination of breathtaking views and heart-racing excitement for a day you won’t forget!
