8 Best Hot Air Balloon Spots In Australia For A Romantic Adventure Of A Lifetime

Hot air ballooning is one of the most romantic experiences you can have in Australia. With stunning landscapes and picturesque vineyards, there are no short of spectacular hot air balloon experiences to choose from across Australia’s many states. We pick some of the best spots for your long-awaited hot air balloon ride!

#KlookTip: Hot air ballooning is highly dependent on weather conditions. We recommend that you book it for the first few days of your trip so that there are some spare days to reschedule if you really have to!

This hot air balloon experience comes with round-trip transfers and a vineyard champagne breakfast, so it doesn't get better than this. You'll be above the gorgeous Queensland countryside first thing in the morning, way up in the air, taking views of the ocean and mountainous terrains.

Pick Up Address: Your accommodation in Brisbane CBD

Cairns might be best known for the Great Barrier Reef, but its country landscape and tropical fringed mountains are equally magical. This hot air balloon experience over the Atherton Tablelands comes with free digital photos, so no need to worry about the 'gram, all you've gotta do is focus on taking in the spectacular views during the 60-minute flight.

It's one of the best value-for-money deals we have on Klook, so book away!

Pick Up Address: Mareeba Heritage Centre or your accommodation in Cairns

Keen to watch the majestic sunrise over the Gold Coast hinterland from 2,000ft above?! The 360-degree panoramic views of sprawling vineyards, Mt. Tamborine and Lamington National Park will leave you in awe. 

Your hot air balloon experience includes a delicious a-la-carte champagne breakfast at Marcos in the Italo-Australian Club after. We can’t think of a better way to start the day!

Start your morning right and take in the stunning views over the surrounding country landscape as the sun rises over the horizon in Camden Valley - we swear you won't regret it one bit. Your Camden Balloon Flight adventure begins with an opportunity to assist with the inflation of the balloon. After the ride, treat yourself to a hot and hearty breakfast at the Camden Valley Inn to complete your morning.

The classic trip to the Hunter Valley will be best topped with a sunrise hot air balloon flight! You'll leave at sunrise and fly over the wine regions of Pokolbin, Lovedale, Rothbury, or Broke. To complete your 60-minute ride experience, we definitely recommend you choose the package that comes with a delicious gourmet breakfast and fancy ol' champagne.

And since you’re already in Hunter Valley, don’t be in a hurry to leave. Take the rest of the day to explore this famous wine region, and better yet, on a horseback ride.

Pick up Address: Peterson’s Champagne House, Broke Rd & Wine Country Drive, Pokolbin NSW 2320

Did you know that Melbourne is one of the very few lucky cities where hot air balloon flights are allowed to fly over? Melbourne is a lovely city, but when you are able to see it at sunrise from the vantage point of a balloon flight you will experience it in its full splendour! 

Seeing the Yarra River meander through the city, past the Australian Open Tennis Centre, the many parks and gardens so beautifully kept, and the sunlight twinkle off the windows of the modern buildings will stay with you for your entire life.

What's better than wine? Wine and a hot air balloon flight! That's exactly what you can do in Yarra Valley and we can't recommend it more.
