Program details

Contemplate the Gold Coast skyline from a vantage point you will certainly never forget. Float up to the skies in a hot air balloon and enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the land far below you. It isn’t enough to know Australia by land and by water; by rising into the air, you can truly say you have explored Australia from all angles.

Begin your amazing day by admiring a spectacular balloon inflation display; a lengthy task but completely worthwhile. To see an enormous flattened bag slowly grow into the shape of a large colourful balloon is a breathtaking sight.

Once your ride is bobbing and ready, hop into the basket that dangles underneath and float up to the heavens. Admire the sun rise over the rolling hills of the Gold Coast Hinterland. As dawn paints the landscape with tints of gold, enjoy the sweeping views of Tamborine Mountain and the awe-inspiring Lamington National Park. If you turn your head to the east, you will be able to distinguish the shimmering tall towers of the Gold Coast skyline.

Once you have solid ground beneath your feet again, complete this fantastic experience with a glass of cold sparkling bubbles and feast on a hearty warm breakfast in O’Reilly’s Vineyards historic Grand Homestead. The atmosphere of this gracious place is completes with its high ceilings and ample verandas. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the grounds or even indulge yourself with a delightful wine tasting at the Cellar Door.
