Hot air ballooning

Hot air ballooning is a relaxing and spectacular way to travel and get a great view of the scenery.

Early risers and balloon riders are rewarded in the Yarra Valley with sparkling wine at breakfast and a famous a wine region in which to pass the remainder of the day sampling local wine.

View the valleys and mountains of Victoria's high country from a wicker basket - especially the area around Bright and Mansfield.

Drift over the magnificent rocky outcrops of the Grampians, and keep watch for the local wildlife, including kangaroos, wallabies, koalas and crimson rosellas.

An early morning balloon ride over the waters of the Murray River in the state’s north-west is a delight – the sight of mists rising over the red gums at dawn is truly beautiful.

Most ballooning companies offer breakfast with a glass of sparkling wine after a dawn flight.
