About this tour
A 3–4 hour hot air balloon flight over Melbourne that lifts you 1000+ metres above the city in a wicker basket. You'll drift with the wind, watching the landscape shift beneath you, with a professional crew focused on safety and detail. In-flight photos are included. This is a spectacular vantage point for seeing the sprawl of greater Melbourne and surrounding countryside; the experience suits anyone with a head for heights and no spinal or pregnancy concerns.
Highlights
- Hot air balloon flight with constantly changing panoramic views

- In-flight photos included
- 3–4 hour total experience from ground to air

What to expect
You'll meet the crew at a designated launch site (not your hotel unless arranged directly with the operator). After a safety briefing and gentle ascent into the basket, you'll rise into the sky as the balloon catches the wind. The flight itself takes you drifting over Melbourne's cityscape and surrounding areas; because you're moving with air currents rather than hovering in place, the view keeps changing rather than staying fixed. The crew handles all technical operation. Once you've seen enough or reached a natural conclusion, you'll descend back to the launch area.

Good to know
This suits anyone who wants a aerial view of Melbourne and enjoys being in the open air; it's not a thrill ride but a contemplative, scenic experience. Avoid booking if you have spinal injuries or are pregnant — both are contraindicated for this activity. All fitness levels are welcome, though mobility to climb into a wicker basket is assumed. No breakfast is provided, so eat beforehand if needed. Hotel pick-up is not included in this listing; you'll arrange your own transport to the launch site, or book direct with BalloonMan if you need pick-up. Group size and exact pricing aren't specified here; confirm those details when booking.
