It is a very worthwhile trip. The tour guide explains carefully and kindly. Although you have to get up very early, it is very convenient to have a driver to pick you up at the hotel. It takes about an hour to go up the mountain. On the way, you will stop in a small town to use the toilet. The weather is basically good. It’s not too cold and the wind is not strong. The hot air from the hot air balloon can even make people feel very hot. It’s very enjoyable to watch the sunrise and the beautiful scenery in the air. The pilot will tell you when he sees a kangaroo or a cow. If the weather is good, you can even fly. For more than an hour, the tour guide will take photos for each group of guests to commemorate. There will also be an aerial camera to help you take photos during the flight. The photos will soon be sent to your mailbox for you to download. It is very fulfilling to help collect the hot air balloon after the flight, and you will also be awarded certificate, and then go down the mountain to take you to the Star Hotel for a buffet breakfast. The trip ends around ten o'clock, it's perfect👍🏻👍🏻Recommended

I saw so many blue light bugs in November!! It was a bit rainy that day, and the tour guide provided shoe covers and raincoats, so my shoes were kept clean throughout the entire trip. Along the way, we introduced various plants, Australian turkey nests, glowing mushrooms and blue light bugs. We also saw super giant earthworms, which gave us a better understanding of Australian ecology. Unfortunately, there were not many stars at the last stargazing station, but there was a bonus at the end of the trip. Desserts and juice!

This is an itinerary suitable for travelers who love nature. The tour guide Jamie loves the rainforest very much and has profound knowledge. Please note that you need to use a red flashlight to walk some distance at night. There are up and down stairs. The elderly and those with poor night vision should be careful.

Amber is an absolute gem of a guide! She took us on an unforgettable adventure through the enchanting rainforest, navigating the picturesque sights even in the rain. With her captivating stories and in-depth knowledge of local history, every moment felt magical. What really stood out was her commitment to the environment—she consistently reminded us to respect the amazing creatures around us and encouraged us to keep the area clean by taking our trash with us. If you're on the lookout for a memorable eco tour, I wholeheartedly recommend Amber! She’s the perfect person to make your experience unforgettable!
