- Mandy W00Bucket list tick ✅Thank you to our pilot Dhawal, our driver Chuck and Kevin our alround good guy for our fantastic hot air balloon ride this morning. Unbelievable experience. Loved it. Felt completely safe and at ease doing this flight. Great safety instructions and commentary. Highly recommended
- leahhS8940QI00The view is amazing, but the crew make the experience!What a unique and amazing experience! The crew (especially Frank, Bryan and Brownie) are entertaining, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was my grandmas 70th birthday and the crew made sure to sing her a happy birthday and make a fuss about her. It was lovely. Big cheers to the crew for such a lovely morning!! Highly recommend!
- ayhe8900Five Stars!The crew were fabulous, can’t thank you all enough! Our driver Richard (pictured) was so friendly and accommodating and went above and beyond to make it a fantastic experience for me and my parents on my birthday, even with a birthday cake at breakfast. Would definitely recommend for both the flight and the jokes, legends!
- Jenhelrog00An exciting memorable full Hot Air Balloon experienceWe loved whole package! The ride, walk inside the balloon, wrapping it up and riding on the trailer! Kelly our bus driver woke us up with jokes and an informative talk; Matt was an invaluable crew member and Jay, a top pilot, who is a Hot Air Balloon Whisperer. He instinctively knows where the winds are and where to go!
- U6337QNmichaeld00Worth the early morning riseI enjoyed my trip very much. The event went smoothly and it seemed well planned with a skilled and experienced team.
- gillianmK1389DU00Hot air Balloon RideWe were lucky to have beautiful weather for this trip which had to have been postponed before due to various reasons . The team (Rob , Dhawal & Kevin) were amazing . They worked so well together with good humour throughout, making this trip even more special. Well done guys.
- Jenlongo8600Above and beyond serviceWe had a fabulous trip in the air with Dhawal and led on he ground by Richard and his crew. From start to finish all team members were full of energy, enthusiasm and humour, and very eager to please and help take photos or answer our questions. I can't fault them in any way. Lots of nice touches on the way, such as giving us a drink before take off and sharing their professional photos from the trip with us after. Thank you all for making it such a memorable day!
- 627graemes00Balloon flight.The whole experience from booking to a prompt efficient pick-up and return to our accommodation the flight,the breakfast all fantastic our pilot Jay was great and informative would highly recommend
- D290HXscottb00Fantastic ballooningVery well done. My wife and I enjoyed our balloon flight emencly. We would highly recommend hot air Anytime. Thankyou for making our anniversary such a wonderful day
- shazza6339300Early start for a great adventureFantastic experience. The team all worked well together from Richard our bus driver who kept us informed to Stuart our pilot whoes experience & expertise made us feel safe and comfortable to the ground team who encouraged us to help them pack up the balloon which was great fun . Loved the banter between the team. Thumbs us from us
- sarahmY4012PP00Do it!We went in the hot air balloon and oh my gosh it is a must do experience! I was quite scared as I am afraid of heights but the staff were super lovely and reassuring. The communication was second to none- there are updates that the bus driver is leaving and where he is on the road so you're never left in the dark. Literally from start to finish the experience couldn't have been better. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Extra shout out to Dawal, Matt and Rob who were all fantastic! We also got photos sent to us within a couple of hours which were included in the cost. A brilliant bonus.
- 410shervinm00Give it a go!We went for hot air baloon. Fantastic experience, nice staff. Strongly recommended. Photos were awesome.
- 13ubbletea00Memorable experienceWe were lucky that we had good weather with clear view of Brisbane. Our pilot, Jay is humorous and knowledgable. Our guide, Chuck is also friendly and helpful. The entire team from Hot Air is very well coordinated and constantly keeping the energy up, making the experience memorable.
- 264gweny00No toilet so must pee in the fields or hold your bladderWe opted to see sunrise so when we were picked up at 3.30am from our hotel, we thought we could catch the sunrise. However the van driver spent another half an hour going to different hotels to pick up more people. After that, we spent another 1 hour travelling to the field where the balloon was located. It was about 5am+ by the time we reached the field and the sun was already shining brightly in the sky so we were disappointed that we could not see the sunrise. There was no stop for toilet break so if you can't hold your bladder, you will have to pee in the field before you board the hotair balloon, definitely not very civilised. After about 50min in the air, the descent started. After we landed, we had to help keep the balloon. Then we were driven for about half an hour before reaching the breakfast place at about 7.40am. Breakfast was good and there are alpacas in the farm cum winery. And most importantly, this was the first place with toilet facilities since we left our hotel at 3.30am. Overall, I feel that the travelling time was a little too long. By the time, we were dropped off at our hotel, it was close to 9.30am.
- wsnike1800Great bucket list adventureKudos to the team for excellent service from start to finish! Was picked up at 4.20am by chris and tony, followed by a few more pickups and we were on the way to the launch site. Once we arrived, the team was preparing the balloons and we were helped into the basket one by one. After 10 - 15 mins, we were airborne! The ascent was fast, but not scary. Once we reached a certain altitude, it was so quiet, except for the blast of fire controlled by the balloon pilot. The view was spectacular. Worth every cent paid for this tour. Upon landing, the entire team helped to keep the balloon, which was quite fun. By 8.15am, we were on the way to the buffet breakfast in a vineyard. There was an alpaca experience zone in the vineyard. The drivers dropped us off at the harbourtown factory outlet by 10am. They even came back to pass me my jacket which i left on the bus. Really appreciate the prompt action and service.

Beginning of this tour was like a hell as alot of hiccups. I find that the staffs there are not polite at all and I do not wish to say further. Though it's something a 'first time' until you try it, but flying around an area with only to see a bare land is ridiculous. Price does not include photos ok so please take note and you need to buy it online after viewing your pixes. There are 2 prices to choose (better quality or a so-so) and you ask yourself what will you prefer right ?

We celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary with a hot air balloon flight over the Beaudesert region. It was an early (pre-dawn) and somewhat chilly start, but the excitement of launching up into a sunrise sky with bellowing gas flames to warm us up as the balloon lifted higher, enabling us to take in the surrounding sights, was really a great and memorable experience! Our pilot was very knowledgeable, informative and humorous throughout the flight. We had a smooth landing, then we went onto O'Reillys for a much awaited champagne breakfast.
One more recommended experience that we have ticked off our bucket list!

The balloon ride was amazing! It requires a very early wake up but we learned this is necessary due to the conditions required (sun and heat are unfavourable for the balloon trip) but it is absolutely worth it! Beautiful views, relaxing, peaceful trip. The Indian balloon aeronaut was funny and taught us so much about hot air ballooning. Chuck, the “driver” was really pacient with us arriving a little late and my wife then left her bag at O’Reilly’s and he organised to drop it off the next day, this is what going above and beyond means. The only thing we would not recommend, would be the breakfast at O’Reilly’s. Sure, the sparkling wine (not champagne) was nice but the food was really basic and nothing special, you’d think you would have some finer touches to breakfast rather than having the usual bacon, beans, scrambled eggs, tomato and bread

Great crew, highly experienced and thoughtful. Stuart was a fantastic pilot - informative, friendly and a good sport all round. He provided us with the most magical experience and a fun landing! The crew Kelly and Wayne went to great lengths to make us feel as if the early morning was worth while through their humour, professionalism and friendliness.
This was my third hot air balloon experience however I must say that hot air ballooning really stood out from the others!
The flying is so gentle that even those who think that they are afraid of heights will be surprised. Take it from me personally 🙈
Finishing off with a amazing champagne Brekky at the vineyard 😍

Such a fantastic experience. Made all the more special by the great people running the show. Richard, our driver was on time, was super helpful and kept us entertained the whole way. Jay our pilot was informative, good humored and obviously passionate about what he does. Kevin was amazing, keeping the whole process running behind the scenes. It’s tough to run this kind of experience through a pandemic but Hot Air managed it well. The breakfast at O’Reilys winery was a lovely way to end the morning. Thank you Hot Air!

We walked from Palazzo Versace to the pick up location that we were told by Jenny was the closest (Main Beach Caravan Park), only to find we could have caught the bus directly across the street. We were then greeted by a very jolly Stuart, our driver at 3.30am.
Stuart was a cross between Kell (from Cath and Kim) and Peter Pan (magical).
He gave us a lovely tour of the Gold Coast, which included a commentary of all the sites of his previous jobs. Despite some minor language barriers with foreign passengers, Stuart had great communication and driving skills.
You could simply not resist but to like this man (our driver). He was an absolute gem and diamond in the rough, providing commentary all along the way. He had a great attitude, and knew how to look on the bright side of life, with jokes, good engagement and anecdotal 'facts'.
The trip from the Gold Coast to the hinterlands was stunning, and thankfully the bad weather held off for a good launch.
Stuart was there to assist with informing us of the safety instructions embarking and disembarking the hot air balloon, narrated with his good hearted humour and wit.
The balloon ride itself was enjoyable, and was extended much to our satisfaction, to avoid landing in a ploughed paddock.
Breakfast at O'Reilley's was hearty and scenic, with good old fashion country service.
We were returned safely to our hotel, after an enjoyable hot air balloon trip, made all the better by an excellent tour guide and driver, Stuart. We were disappointed we had no cash, but would love to have given him a $100 tip.
Thanks for a spectacular morning!
Cheers,

I have always wanted to travel in a Hot Air Balloon a definite on my bucket list! Yesterday that dream came true flying over the Gold Coast Hinterland the Scenic Rim with my husband Marcel. The scenery was absolutely spectacular, the mist hung over the Wyaralong Dam, the landscape looked like it belonged in a model train set the cows like tiny plastic figures and the farm buildings. The shadow of the balloon projected onto the trees as we glided through the air and we were surrounded by the mountains of the scenic rim on one side and Brisbane in the distance like a tiny magical city in the Wizard of Oz. Our Pilot Dhawal was excellent, very relaxed & informative without being intrusive and gave very clear instructions and a remarkably soft gentle landing. Our driver Tenny was also very good, considerate and helpful! The champagne breakfast at O'Reilly's was a lovely in their gorgeous surroundings with time to stroll by the creek and look at the Alpacas afterwards. I often perform weddings at O'Reilly's Canungra Valley Vineyard as I am a recommended celebrant for them but being a guest was a brilliant experience! Our experience overall was exceptional and I recommend Hot Air Balloon Gold Coast to anyone wanting to fulfill a bucket list dream...great job team! Nothing like exploring your own backyard! Thank you again Marilyn & Marcel xoxoxo

It may not be everyone's cup of tea to get up at 3 30 am and be driven through the countryside in the dark, but once you arrive at your destination to see the balloon being inflated that's when the fun begins!
The weather was perfect, the views stunning and the pilot(sorry forgot his name) very professional and informative.
A smooth landing was followed by everyone having photos inside the balloon and all helping to pack it away.
It was then a scenic drive to Oreillys Vineyard for a lovely champagne breakfast and finally back to our hotel by our fantastic driver Chuck. It was a brilliant day from start to finish (a good 8 hours door to door) and we would highly recommend this to anyone.

My husband and I had one of the most memorable experiences with #hotairballoongoldcoast. From the time we were picked up through to when we were dropped off, the whole team was professional and welcoming. Chuck, our driver, was cheerful, professional, informative and helpful from the beginning. Dhawal, our balloon pilot, was a great host. He made us feel safe, and comfortable throughout the flight and was full of information about the balloon and his piloting career. We also enjoyed assisting with the packing up of balloon at the end of the flight and also the ride back to the bus. Thank you to @OReillysCanungraValleyVineyards for a lovely breakfast by the creek alongside the alpacas. With great hosts like Chuck and Dhawal, we will definity be recommending this experience to our friends and be booking another flight very soon!

We did the tour reluctantly because it starts at 0330 hours in the morning. Then Rob appeared bang on time and was bubbly and happy as though it was his birthday. Rob made the journey lively with his chirpy and funny conversations all through.
We reached the place where the Balloon was at around 0500 in morning. The support crew and Pilot - Dhawal were immaculate in their preparations. We knew instantly that we were in safe hands.
The experience was very nice. Our Pilot Dhawal was informative and engaging with a typically Aussie sense of humour. Our landing was very smooth. The hot air balloon experience makes you come very close to Mother Nature and all it’s elements.
Post landing was a bit of a work. We joined the crew in folding up the balloon and placing it back in the truck.
We then went to Reilly vineyard. Very well maintained, neat and clean and with a homelike breakfast.
By the end of it, waking up at 0300hours in morning looks very worth it. Surely worth an experience. Go for it folks. Kudos to Rob & Dhawal and the crew

You have the option to have champagne. I did the flight with the breakfast but I don't drink alcohol. The breakfast was great, I had juice and a coffee with it.
I believe you can just do the flight without breakfast
