Melbourne Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Flight with Sparkling Breakfast

Picture this: floating above Melbourne at sunrise as the city wakes below. Finish your hot air balloon experience with a delicious buffet breakfast at the Pullman Melbourne on the Park.

Your day begins at the Pullman Melbourne on the Park, where you’ll meet the friendly Global Ballooning team. Your exact meeting time is confirmed the evening before via the Global Ballooning “Safe Travels” app.

After a short safety briefing, you’ll be transferred to the launch site. Watch the balloon come to life, help with preparations if you wish, or simply enjoy the moment and take photos.

Then it’s time to fly. Spend around one hour drifting peacefully over Melbourne at sunrise, taking in breathtaking city views as the morning light fills the sky.
