Balloon Photo Sessions: 14 to Book

1.Yarra Valley Sunrise Balloon Flight with GoPro Photos

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 506 reviews · from $355Our pick

Meet before dawn at Pullman Melbourne on the Park or choose CBD pickup, then help prepare the balloon before an hour-long sunrise flight over the Yarra Valley. Wind decides your route. Pilots such as Steve, Jacob, Pato, and Harry add clear safety guidance, while GoPro photos, a digital certificate, and optional Balgownie Estate breakfast complete the morning.

“Amazing way to kick start a new day. Awesome views. An once in a lifetime experience. However, the landing was too bumpy and uncomfortable for me. Spotted some kangaroos fighting in the grassland while waiting to go up the basket. Quite chilly in the yarra valley especially when the wind blows. The kids had fun helping to fold the balloon after the flight. Ended the flight with a hearty hot meal at the Balgownie before the long drive back to the hotel.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 26 reviews · 4 hours · from $232

Pilot Jay and the crew handle the flight and landing, followed by sparkling wine, a certificate, and a $130 Premium Digital Photo Pack. You should be back in time for much of your day, though transport can sometimes run longer than four hours.

“The hot air balloon was great. Our group was smaller so it wasn't a cramped experience and we had plenty of room to move around our section and take in all of the views. The pickup was easy and direct from our accommodation (Beachcomber) but it did take a little longer than expected. We were probably out for a total of 6/7 hours instead of the advertised 4 hours, but regardless it was worth it. I'd definitely recommend!”
