Absolutely amazing. Can’t recommend highly enough. All of the staff are amazing, professional, fun and informative. From Brownie our bus driver to Bob our pilot and all of the other staff they were just the best.

This was an amazing experience and a must do in the Cairns area. The view and feeling is somewhat surreal being at a great hight whilst being completely exposed to the atmosphere. And of course being up in the sky for sunrise is something you need to experience.
Our pilot was very knowledgable about the land below us and was more than happy to answer any questions we had about the balloon itself.
Once back on the ground, we were met by some more extremely friendly staff members, all of who had a playful banter and good natured about them, which meant it was easy to convince us that packing up the balloon itself was an opportunity not to be missed!
So, despite the early morning wake up call, this was an experience not to be missed!
