Global Ballooning Australia

What an absolutely unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything was so well organised — the transfers were smooth, the staff were incredibly friendly, and the whole journey felt effortless. A huge thank you to Tash and Nicki for making the flight so enjoyable. They were both so professional, calm, and fun, which made the entire experience even more special. The flight itself was incredibly smooth, relaxing, and exciting all at once truly a bucket-list moment without feeling tiring or overwhelming. Watching the balloons take off at sunrise and floating over the Yarra Valley was magical. We loved every single moment and would 100% recommend this experience to anyone thinking about it.

Such an amazing and magical time. I have been ballooning one other time near Napa, California and thought this would feel the same. It was a completely different type of trip. Perfect morning weather wise - we got lucky with that - clear skies, light wind, moderate temperatures. And, the dawn was just gorgeous with color, like a sunset, due to the brush files east of Melbourne. Even more, it was incredible to fly over a major metropolitan area and to feel absolutely safe, tranquil and in awe. This is definitely a “must do” event. And I’m a guy who doesn’t love heights. Strongly recommend it!

We had an absolutely amazing hot air balloon experience today! From start to finish, everything was well organised and professional. The staff were friendly, patient, and made us feel safe and comfortable the whole time. The views were breathtaking — floating quietly above the landscape at sunrise was truly unforgettable. It was a unique and magical experience, and we couldn’t have asked for a better first hot air balloon ride. Highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a memorable and well-run hot air balloon adventure! Special thanks to our pilot and tour leader Rian and Quin, who was absolutely fantastic. They were professional, calm, and very experienced, which made us feel completely safe and relaxed throughout the flight.

Our experience with Global Ballooning was absolutely amazing. The whole organisation was seamless from start to finish. Our pilot Pato and his colleague Lily were extremely professional, friendly, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Flying over Melbourne at sunrise was simply wow, the views were breathtaking. Without a doubt, this is the best organisation for a hot air balloon flight. Highly recommended!
