What a thrill ride on the sea enjoying the breeze! Would recommend wearing swimwear and slippers (or go barefoot in the boat) as you WILL get wet. Wild spins and hops that require you to hang on tight and brace yourself against the seat. Not recommended fof elderly, great for older kids and young to middle-aged adults.

A must-try in the Gold Coast! It's as thrilling as a roller coaster, but you'll get your hair soaking wet! 😆 The video is great, but you have to purchase it separately.

The boat owner is very kind and even helps take photos. The driving is easy to learn, and they provide a mobile phone number for emergency assistance. I had a relaxing hour enjoying afternoon tea while watching the riverside mansions and scenery. Highly recommend everyone to try this experience!

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.

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.

Initially, I was a bit nervous, so I thought I would receive pre-departure instructions again, even though all the information was clearly written in the order details. I was nervous until the very last moment. Fortunately, the bus arrived very punctually, and the whole process went smoothly. The hot air balloon experience was absolutely amazing! Both the tour guide and the pilot gave very detailed explanations throughout the trip, which made me feel very safe. The tour guide also spoke Chinese, which allowed my daughter to know what to expect and what was happening. The pilot even thoughtfully recommended that we let our daughter look at the scenery through the small window or sit on the center armrest. If you ever go to the Gold Coast, I highly recommend experiencing a hot air balloon ride. It's absolutely fantastic and worth it!

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.
