Global Ballooning Australia - Melbourne and Yarra Valley

I am fear of height and worried about flying in the sky. However, the hot balloon was actually very stable and peaceful in the sky. Brian and his team were so friendly and made the whole experience so clam and smooth. The sunrise and landscape views were great over the Yarra Valley, wonderful breakfast after the fly too!

We had a very pleasant experience with Kiff, Belinda and also Mandy on board with us who took all our wonderful photos. (Keep that energy up!) Flying over the spectacular sunrise that day was nothing but amazing. 100% would definitely recommend them for the Ballooning experience. Thanks again!

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish! We were in Mansfield and it was a pure highlight of my year - highly recommend. A relaxing, calming experience with great pilot and crew!

It was a memorable experience! Staff are so friendly and professional, we enjoyed so much.
Highly recommend to fly with this amazing team.

Highly recommend. Amazing experience. Very experienced and humorous flyers and breakfast at the end was lovely.

Couldn't have asked for a better hot air ballooning experience. It was our first time and the crew ensured we were well informed with all safety procedures. Sorry couldn't remember the name of the lady this morning (11th Dec) but her high energy most definitely pumped us up at 5 in the morning.

Steve was our pilot and an absolute legend who should consider stand up comedy as a side gig. Our flight took us right over the CBD (while others went by the side) and the winds changed our course a little and made it extra special going above the Melbourne Zoo with the elephants giving us a warm welcome this morning. Landing was awesome and is as smooth as it gets!

Mark was our ground crew that delivered us to the launch site ane picked up right on time as we land. All in all, the set up and pack up made it a really enjoyable experience. Personally I would encourage to volunteer yourself for any set up activities for a more unique experience!

An experience I would most certainly recommend through Global Ballooning!

I loved it. It was fantastic. Everything was amazing. I would love to try the city ballooning next time. Thank you for the special moment.

A first timer flying on a hot air balloon and it was an absolute dream come true - think of Up the animation. Up, up and away! Special thanks to STEVE, our pilot, and ground crew, MARK, for granting us such an amazing experience. As someone who is quite afraid of heights, I was very surprised at how manageable it was and I felt really safe having Steve as our pilot, even our landing was so fun! Part of the fun was also being able to be part of the crew and help pack up the balloon! Also, we absolutely love the fact that we don't have to be paying extra $$ just to have access to the photos.

Thanks once again, GBA, for such an awesome and memorable hot air balloon experience!

What an experience! Something I'll never forget so long as I live. Our pilot Scarlett was so professional, calm and collected, and the most perfect, lovely host to have on our private hot air balloon flight / secret proposal. Really enjoyed having the balloon to ourselves, it was such an romantic and peaceful flight. Definitely recommend!

We had such a wonderful experience flying with Brian. Would highly recommend this experience for anyone.

Had a great time flying with Steve and Mark. Had an amazing time seeing Melbourne sunrise post lockdown. Great Breakfast too after flight.
Flight Highlight: Melbourne Zoo Elephant giving a loud Welcome after seeing the Balloon.

Incredible experience! Very organised and welcoming operation. Loved helping set and pack up the balloon. Brian was the best pilot, mixing humour and expertise and making for a spectacular morning. The breakfast afterwards was delicious and we would highly recommend this experience.

The staff were absolutely amazing. Friendly and very professional
The entire experience was a one to remember.
Definitely recommend it

The most special and peaceful morning. Brian and his team were great and friendly. Definitely recommend this once in a lifetime experience, so worth the money

Best experience ever,
And very friendly staff to explain and guiding what to do during this flight and preparation.

Thank you for the most incredible experience of my life! I celebrated my 40-th birthday on a hot air balloon flying over Melbourne with my husband and my 10 year old daughter, and it was out of this world! I will never forget this sunrise over the city. It was perfectly organised too by professional, fun and friendly team that guided and entertained us throughout the morning, and we felt very safe flying with the amazing captain Kiff! Thanks again, you are the best!

The entire Global Ballooning Team where professional, engaged and attentive from start to finish. I without a doubt would recommend Global to anyone considering a hot air balloon experience.

My partner and I had an awesome experience on our first balloon ride. Our pilot Ron was great! He was knowledgeable and funny and that really added to the overall experience. I loved helping with the inflation and dismantle of the balloon, it made the experience all the more special. I would highly recommend trying these guys out, ask for Ronald to be your pilot you won't regret it!

We had a fantastic experience with Brian and Barry from Global ballooning. A great flight path straight over the Melbourne CBD was spectacular. Highly recommended.

We absolutely loved our hot air ballooning experience from start to finish!
Global Ballooning were so well organised and communicative throughout the process - both pre flight and during the whole experience on the day.
The ballooning experience was incredible, stunning and smooth. Our pilot was exceptionally skilled and we felt safe the entire time.
The champagne breakfast at the end was a lovely way to finish a beautiful morning.
We cannot recommend this experience enough!
