Hot Air Balloon Flight, 1 Hour - Yarra Valley
New
Highlights
What you can expect
Soar over the Yarra Valley on a one hour hot air balloon flight that lifts off before dawn, when the air is at its clearest. Meet your crew at a launch site ringed by vineyards and rolling hills, pitch in as the envelope fills and the burners punch heat into it, then climb aboard the basket and feel the ground drop away.
Up at height the valley unrolls beneath you, the Yarra River cutting between hills and mountains as the sunrise pours light across the vines. Between bursts of the burner there is nothing but silence, which makes the scale of it land harder. Your pilots bring a combined 18,000 hours of ballooning, full flight and ground insurance and a briefing that covers everything before you leave the paddock. Photographs are captured in the air, so you come down with the proof. Add the optional buffet breakfast and make a morning of it.
