Our professional tour guide team will collect you from your accommodation at pre-dawn and deliver you to the launch site. Once the balloon is ready, step into the basket with your experienced pilot. Feel the peace and serenity of floating above the rainforest-covered hills, mountains and tablelands set against the stunning backdrop of the rising sun. Breathe in the fresh air, enjoy sweeping views of the Atherton Tablelands on one side and look towards the coast and Great Barrier Reef - it's the best of both worlds! Our very experienced pilots will slowly guide the balloon down to the landing point, where the fun continues. We all pitch in and fold up the balloon itself, have a laugh and take some more photos. Finally, we came together with the pilot and ground crew for a light snack, chat and to toast the sensational flight experience with a glass of sparkling wine. Bonus - 3 Course meal at Ochre.
