Amazing Balloon Flight over Melbourne!
Dreamer36706043967, 09-12-2022
An amazing experience flying over Melbourne, and at some points flying low enough to say good morning to residents! Amazing! Everyone involved with Global Ballooning made our experience fantastic, their efforts were all fabulous! And to our pilot Eddie thanks for the fantastic experience and the extra special landing…you’re a legend!
Sunrise balloon adventure over Melbourne

Booked this in 2019 so 3 years ago, but a few things have happened in that time, and we were so happy they honoured our credit for the adventure. Great staff and beautiful morning to be up in the air over the city. Very different experience to other flight alternates. Loved it !
Sensational sunrise

An amazing experience with the fabulous Eddie as our pilot. We felt very safe and had a magical time drifting across the Melbourne suburbs in the (extremely early!) pre-dawn skies. Stoney’s banter was uncomfortable, but Eddie’s professionalism made up for it. My daughter loved the buffet breakfast at the Pullman after our balloon ride. Next time we look forward to trying a regional trip!
There are no words other than amazing!!

I loved my Melbourne Balloon Flight at Sunrise with friends on my birthday !!! I was diagnosed with MS several years ago which impacts my mobility and requires me to walk with a cane. Thankfully, an accessible friendly option was available and the entire staff was kind, supportive and made sure that I was comfortable throughout this amazing experience!!! I am grateful to this dedicated team of compassionate professionals!!!
Perfect once in a lifetime experience

What a fabulous experience. Clem our pilot was amazing. As a first time hot air balloon couple we were nervous, but Clem was calm which made us feel totally safe. We enjoyed every minute.
