Hot Air Ballooning

Take a majestic flight over Queensland’s tropical tablelands, through the valleys of the Scenic Rim or past Brisbane city. See unrivalled panoramic views of some of the most beautiful places on earth, usually only seen from the ground.

See some of Queensland’s most beautiful countryside in a balloon flight from Ipswich, along the Scenic Rim. On this flight, you can see the Great Dividing Range and the Brisbane skyline all in one trip. Float above plunging valleys, historical townships and the Bremer and Brisbane Rivers.

For a closer look at the city, an hour long flight passes over the central city itself. Once over the city, it is often possible to see the Glasshouse Mountains in the distance, and perhaps even the beaches of the Gold Coast.

Balloon flights around Cairns are a unique experience, and allow you to see the countryside as you have never seen it before. See the volcanic landscape of the Atherton Tablelands from above, or the place where the rainforest meets the outback at Mareeba. Floating over the tallest tips of blue gums and paperbark trees, you can spot the wildlife that live among them.

Seeing the sunrise over Surfer’s Paradise is a sight you won’t soon forget, especially from the height of a hot air balloon. Watch as the canals and waterways of the Gold Coast Hinterland turn golden in the morning sun, running through mountains covered in lush green forest. This is some of the most beautiful ballooning country around.
