The Experience

Your day begins pre-dawn as you are transported to the launch site to witness the impressive inflation of the balloons. Standing taller than a ten-storey building, these massive vessels provide a majestic sight against the early morning sky. Once airborne, you'll glide silently over the rolling hills and open fields of the Scenic Rim, enjoying 360-degree views of the hinterland and the distant Gold Coast skyline as the sun rises.

After a gentle landing, the fun continues as guests are invited to help the crew pack up the balloon. You’ll then head to the boutique O’Reilly’s Canungra Valley Vineyard for a delicious hot breakfast on the verandah of a picturesque grand Queenslander. While there, you can enjoy a complimentary wine tasting, feed the resident alpacas, and explore the beautiful vineyard grounds.
