You'll never forget the wonder, romance and silence of watching the sun rise in Tropical North Queensland during your hot-air balloon flight. Your pilot will point out features of the landscape as you enjoy the sensation of floating with up to a dozen other balloons over the Atherton Tablelands. On landing you can join the fun with the crew as you help deflate and repack the balloon - an exciting team effort!
The basic tour includes a 30-minute scenic flight, a hot cooked breakfast with champagne, and a souvenir flight certificate. You can also take the opportunity to expand the experience and include some of the tropical north's best-known attractions with your scenic flight before returning to your hotel.
