What makes Cairns Classic Hot Air Balloon ride a unique experience ?

You will be met by our professional driver at your pick up location to be transfered to your Hot Air Balloon ride.

As the day begins, you will experience a wonderful hot air balloon flight above the Atherton Tablelands, Australia.

After your flight and landing, enjoy games and lots of laughs as your pilot, crew and driver lead the fun of packing up your hot air balloon.

Your hot air balloon experience finish time varies with the seasons (summer, winter and the time of sunrise). Your driver can drop you back to your Cairns accommodation or, with prior notice, we can drop you off to the Cairns Reef Fleet Terminal, Skyrail, Tjapukai or perhaps a Cairns cafe or restaurant if you would like to have breakfast at your own arrangements.

The Atherton Tablelands is the area over which we fly our hot air balloons. You will experience this area at dawn – the best time of the day to spot wallabies, kangaroos, many different species of birds, and other wildlife. In addition, you may fly over many different crops as The Tablelands are known for their fruit and vegetable produce. Keep an eye out for crops of mangoes, bananas, lychees, avocados, pineapples, limes and more.
