Melbourne is the only major city in the world where you can legally fly over the CBD in a hot air balloon, making this Melbourne sunrise balloon ride a truly rare and unforgettable experience.

Your morning begins at a central Melbourne meeting point near the CBD – Pullman Melbourne on the Park hotel, where guests check in before being transported to the launch site for their Melbourne hot air balloon flight.

On the field, watch the vibrant balloon inflate against the early morning sky, assist the crew during setup, and receive a comprehensive safety briefing from highly experienced, award-winning pilots. As the burner ignites and the balloon gently lifts, enjoy the exhilarating yet peaceful sensation of rising above the city as Melbourne awakens below.

Depending on wind direction, your flight path may drift over Melbourne’s most iconic landmarks - including the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), the Yarra River, and the striking Melbourne skyline, or float peacefully above inner suburbs and expansive parklands.

After landing, guests are invited to assist with packing down the balloon before returning to the CBD meeting point. An optional buffet breakfast upgrade is available at a nearby hotel venue.
