Reviews
it was so fun riding the hot air balloon. we also get to experience how to pack it up. tory, frank, roy and dino were fun crew! what an amazing experience.
Watching the sunrise from a hot air balloon is tiring because you have to wake up so early, but the whole atmosphere is exciting. The scenery from the cable car is beautiful, and if you look closely, you might see parrots. The vintage train is cute and also worth experiencing.
Our driver Mike was fantastic both as a driver and entertainer. Pilot Frank and co-pilot Brian were super duper experienced and ensured we had a great and safe flight. Properly enjoyed it! Definitely a highlight of our trip.
Excellent crew, very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. they provide great care and consideration to all guests. The hot air balloon ride was fantastic. Skyrail and stops were great. Enjoyed Kuranda attractions and markets, some activities are additional costs so research interests beforehand. athe Scenic railway was also great way to end the day with nice stops for pics. Great experience overall.
amazing trip! this is my first time experiencing in hot air balloon, everything is wonderful. My guide is so funny! He has a lot of trick to entertain everyone 🤣 love it
Coaches: Coaches Neil and Brian were very professional and patient, which made us feel very secure throughout the trip. Experience: Driver Mike was funny, humorous, and very considerate. He blended in well with us, making the whole trip pleasant and unforgettable. We will definitely join this tour again if we have the opportunity.
