Cairns Luxury Hot Air Balloon Experience
from A$880 per person
5 hours
Indulge in a luxury ballooning experience, with private chauffeured transfers, extended scenic hot air balloon ride (non exclusive), and a five star breachside breakfast at Palm Cove.
Begin your morning with the peace and serenity of a sunrise hot air balloon flight over the stunning Atherton Tablelands. Your private transfer will collect you from your hotel before you witness the spectacular sight of giant balloons inflating against the dawn sky.
Drift gently above rainforest-fringed mountains and rolling farmland as the first light of day paints the landscape below. Your extended 60-minute flight (taken as two consecutive 30-minute flights) travels across different areas, giving you breathtaking views of Mareeba and the Atherton Tablelands from every angle.
Keep an eye out for native wildlife as you glide quietly through the sky - wallabies, cockatoos, and more - before landing to celebrate with a tropical breakfast and a glass of sparkling wine at Nunu's Palm Cove.
A truly unforgettable way to experience the beauty of Far North Queensland from above.
