The Greater Brisbane and Scenic Rim region in South East Queensland is the ultimate place to experience the magic and adventure of hot air ballooning.

After being greeted 20 minutes prior to sunrise, your pilot will brief you and your fellow passengers on the morning's proceedings. After final weather checks by the pilot, you will then be taken to the chosen launch site, based on the mornings wind speed and direction. You might even be able to assist with the inflation of the hot air balloon.

Once the balloon is inflated, the hot air balloon will lift off for your flight which will be approximately 1 hour in duration.

Whilst floating majestically and effortlessly, your balloon flight combines the city and country in one flight. Your balloon flight is tranquil yet exhilarating. As the world slowly awakens, you float peacefully overhead, witnessing the serenity in slow motion from the balloon basket.

Breathtaking views of the city of Ipswich and its classic Queenslanders, heritage buildings and homes, Flinders Peak, Mt. Walker, the Great Dividing ranges, McPherson Ranges, Mt. Tamborine, Moreton Bay, the skyline of Brisbane, Mount Coot-tha, D'Aguilar Range, Wivenhoe Dam, the Brisbane, Fassifern and Lockyer Valleys and the Brisbane and Bremer Rivers.

Upon landing, you may become involved in assisting the crew in packing up the hot air balloon or taking photographs. Afterwards our crew will return you to Ipswich for a sumptuous sit down restaurant champagne breakfast, including a full hot breakfast (eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes, and hash browns) and a continental breakfast (cereals, breads, pastries, fruit, yoghurt, juice, milk, tea,coffee). A commemorative flight certificate will be presented to each passenger to conclude the morning's activity.
