What to expect
You'll start early, heading to the launch site (transport by public transport unless booked direct with BalloonMan for pickup). After a safety briefing, you'll climb into the basket as the balloon inflates and ascends, offering gradually expanding views across Melbourne's urban sprawl and landmarks. The flight itself is calm and drift-dependent on wind conditions. Once you land and descend, you'll be transferred to the Grand Hyatt, where you'll settle into Collins Kitchen for a 5-star champagne buffet breakfast with other passengers from the flight. The whole experience wraps within 3–4 hours.
