Description

Whether you are looking for a romantic experience, or simply wanting to enjoy one of Australia’s most spectacular landscapes from the sky, join Balloon Aloft for a morning in the Gold Coast that you will never forget. Choose between a 30 or 60 minute experience and float over beautiful beaches, winding rivers and the Gold Coast hinterland, with the iconic Gold Coast skyline in the background. Each Balloon Aloft pilot is a local with a story to tell and can’t wait to show you the best views and flight paths available in the Gold Coast.

A hot air balloon experience with Balloon Aloft includes you in each exciting step of your Gold Coast flight: the pre-flight preparations, gliding through the sky and deflating the balloon once landing. Your day starts in the early morning with meeting your expert Balloon Aloft crew at the Gold Coast launch site and watching as your hot air balloon is inflated. Be mesmerised by the sight and sound of the sharp bursts of the burner flames inflating the colourful balloon, until it is standing upright and ready for boarding.

Once you have climbed aboard the hot air balloon basket, your Balloon Aloft pilot ensures you are briefed with all required safety procedures before taking off. It is well worth the early morning start as a breathtaking Gold Coast sunrise unveils itself on your balloon ascent. Drift over tree tops and admire panoramic views of the diverse Gold Coast landscape with knowledgeable commentary from your local Balloon Aloft pilot. Make the most of epic photo opportunities from above the clouds before the Balloon Aloft crew decide on your landing site. As you touch down, get involved in the fun process of deflating and packing up the balloon to finish your incredible Gold Coast journey.

Celebrate your flight with an indulgent champagne breakfast buffet at the Mercure Resort Gold Coast, where you will also be awarded with your personalised Balloon Aloft flight certificate! The 60 minute flight & champagne breakfast package is available to purchase upon booking.
