Amazing sunrise balloon flight over Canberra - so peaceful and serene !! Loved the hands on experience of setting the balloon up for launch and packing it away ! The most brilliant way to share my Dads 75th birthday !!! Thanks for the celebratory champagne !

Seem less service from booking to landing. Our pilot Kim as excellent and extremely professional. We did this to celebrate my daughters 21st and it was magic. Rising into the air at dawn in the -3C temp with fog on Lake Burley Griffin below us was unforgettable. Do this and you will feel very special

Wonderful experience from the booking to the very end it was easy and a great experience. The ground crew were great providing advice on the trip to the lift off. The trip itself was amazing- peaceful ..hard to describe but I would definitely recommend it.

All of the staff involved, pilot and ground staff were exceptional. Communication was easy and clear and they involved each of us in the take off preparation and the pack down (which was all fun and not mandatory). The pilot Kim was highly experienced and we always felt safe in his hands. We had a perfect soft landing. The views over the lake were magnificent and we loved every minute of it.
