Fantastic 5.0
This was truly the best experience of our Gold Coast trip. I tried kayaking for the first time, and even though my husband and I are non-swimmers, we felt safe and confident throughout. Kayaking and snorkelling are a must if you’re visiting. The team was extremely supportive and stayed with everyone, even those who were last in the group. Highly recommended!

Ticking off the bucketlist! Took the 5 minutes flight (tour 1) for 95 AUD per person. It was worth it. I would love to have the 10 or even the 15 minutes tour if budget was not an issue.

A must try experience! We got on the hot air balloon before sunrise and managed to get amazing views! The staff were all very nice and helpful and they took amazing pictures which we got back in a timely manner. Our pilot Stuart was really informative and kept the atmosphere in the balloon alive.

It was a once in a lifetime experience.. Ben, our Baloon flight captain was outstanding. It was a great site to go Balooning, mesmerising to see the sun rise and the beautiful meadows. Totally worth it. It was so pleasant, serene and quiet up in the air 5000ft above the ground. We could see the gold coast and Brisbane skyline. it was indeed a 7 star experience. the pick up was on time and the coach was comfortable. the whole flying experience was top notch.

We received confirmation of our hotel pick-up time around 1:00 PM the day before. The time was 3:25 AM, almost exactly as expected. On the day of the flight, staff were already waiting when we arrived at the hotel entrance a few minutes early. After stopping at several hotels and a restroom break location, we boarded the balloon around 5:30 AM. It was just starting to get light, and it felt like we were ascending with the sunrise. There were a lot of clouds that day, and we could only see the sun peeking through them, but it was still very beautiful. The pilot gave us various explanations with a few jokes thrown in. We even caught a glimpse of a kangaroo while landing. After landing, everyone helped pack up the balloon, which was a valuable experience. We didn't opt for breakfast, but we were happy to receive sparkling wine at the end. Overall, it's a highly recommended activity.
