Yarra Valley Balloon Flight at Sunrise

Melbourne, Australia

Greet the morning sun as you take flight over the Yarra Valley and its vineyards on a Yarra Valley hot air balloon flight. You'll fly for approximately one hour before completing the memorable experience of ballooning in the Yarra Valley with an optional sumptuous sparkling wine breakfast at Balgownie Estate.

Just 50 minutes from the Melbourne CBD lies the lush hillsides of the Yarra Valley. A place of diverse and rich history stretching back to the first settlers, The Yarra Valley is home to 90 vineyards and 35 wineries, many of which hold a reputation for creating world-class wines. The Yarra Valley is also renowned as being one of Victoria's largest tourist destinations. Ballooning over the Yarra Valley is a magnificent way to see the lush landscapes and vineyards of the Valley.

On your hot air balloon flight in the Yarra Valley, the breeze will usher you along the corridors of grape vines and over the Yarra River as you take in the breathtaking views of mountains that surround the valley. You'll have the option to pre-book a gourmet a la carte breakfast which includes a choice of fruit, yogurt, cereal, muesli and a hot breakfast of bacon, eggs, hash browns, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, toast, tea and coffee, orange juice and Chandon sparkling wine to celebrate your Yarra Valley balloon flight!

I was getting cold feet on the night of the flight since I was a little afraid of heights and to make matter worse, I was having a little fever and feeling a little dizzy, I called the customer service, they consoled me and told me it's a very smooth flight with nothing to worry about, when I reached the site, Brian was very thoughtful and showed me the basket with thick ropes onto which I can hold, the whole flight was very smooth and Brian kept asking me how I felt during the flight, I wasn't frightened at all, the landing was perfect, thank you, Global Balooning.

Today was our 30th wedding anniversary. I would like to highly commend Brian our pilot and all the staff that made our day very special._br/_ I would highly recommend The Balloon flight and breakfast to anyone who wants a great morning out. The scenery was amazing and Brian's skill flying the balloon was amazing. Brian also gave us some running commentary and also showed everyone how the balloon was operated while flying. Thankyou very much to all of you. This made our day very special.

I truly enjoyed this trip. It is weather dependent, and I guess I was lucky. Everything from pickup to drop off at the hotel worked like a clock.

Bucket list experience achieved!! I was picked up before sunrise alone in front of my hotel. I'm 74 years young and felt very safe during the entire tour. Van driver wife of owner, sorry forgot her name and all of the crew were friendly, helpful and knew what they were doing. As a senior citizen and in a foreign country, I was concerned when told that I Would be dropped off at a location NEAR my hotel. Fortunately My drop off was few blocks away and easily managed with instructions from driver. Bottom line. Great hot air ballon ride and champagne breakfast afterward.

Thought we would be picked up from Healesville, but lack of communication left us wondering. Advise everyone to wear older clothes as we finished up very muddy.

Overall was a good trip but did not expect to have to do all the work opening and folding back the balloons, didn't mind helping but would prefer to be told previously, so i can prepare better

Best part of our trip. Winds were good and sunrise view was amazing._br/_ Excellent facilities and breakfast in Wineyard :-
 

Review by:   Liam S,    September 2015 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
Absolutely incredible! Bought the tickets as a surprise for my partner on her 21st and as first time balloon fliers we thoroughly enjoyed the experience! We optioned to go with the transfers for ease of travel and the champagne breakfast and we could not have asked for a nicer all round experience._br/_ Note to future travelers particular baldies like myself bring a beanie, not for the cold but for the heat from the burner! And also a pair of sturdy shoes would help as well as packing and setting up the balloon can be tricky but is half the fun!. Otherwise enjoy an incredible experience with an all-round very professional company who my partner and I will definitely be using again in the future.
 

Review by:   Uday B,    August 2015 Review: 3 star rating: Worth doing
Great experience but bit overpriced as the flight time is actually less than 60 min. Lot of physical work to do in packing up the balloon and that should not be part of it. Photos taken during the flight are not great and were charged AUD 40 per pen drive that was bit an overkill. My suggestion would be better to do the ballooning over the city instead Yarra valley....................Team and crew was professional

This balloon ride was great. Victor is a super captain and gave us a wonderful one hour ride on that. I wish the camera attached to the balloon is of better quality. The pics taken are not very clear.

Once in a Life Time Experience. One of the biggest Hot Air Balloons in the Southern Hemisphere. So it was. Crew was very warm and provide good service. Involve passengers in a few activities which make it fun and interesting.

Many said this activity is scary and dangerous but I must say its a must to go! its safe and you feel like you are on top of the world. The view is truly amazing! The set up of the hot air balloon is also interesting. One time life experience!
 

Review by:   Dean C,    January 2014 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
This was a fantastic tour. Our flight was cancelled twice due to strong winds, but it was worth the wait in the end. The weather was perfect when we flew and the views were unbelievable. The crew were really good fun and the breakfast was top quality. It's worth mentioning that there is the opportunity to help set up the balloon and pack it back away at the end of the flight. Doesn't sound very exciting, but it was good fun too. Highly recommended.

The flight was amazing. Disappointing however that they allow you to book a particular day take your money and then ring you the day before and tell you the fight is going to be cancelled because they haven't got enough bookings. This can put your whole holiday into disarray if you are planning to do other things on the only day they are offering to fly. A WARNING when you make your booking that the day you choose may not be suitable for for them financially would be nice, I would book with one of the other companies next time.

Excellent pilots, state of the art ballons, perfect views. You could offer a nicer breakfast or at least in a nicer atmosphere. Had to pay extra for the hot chocolate of my two small boys...

What a fantastic day. Whilst you are at the mercy of the weather we had a perfect day and the atmosphere continued with the breakfast in the winery and a great crew and piolet. If you were ever to go hot air ballooning the Global Ballooning tour over the Yarra Valleu would have to be the pick of the crop!
