Port Douglas Classic Ballooning Flight
from A$495 per person
5 hours
Capture incredible bird's eye view photos and revel in the sun's first light as you float above the beautiful rainforest covered hills in the peace and serenity of a hot air balloon.
Start your morning in unforgettable style with a sunrise hot air balloon flight over the breathtaking Atherton Tablelands. You'll be collected from your Port Douglas accommodation before dawn and driven inland through the scenic mountains to Mareeba - where your adventure begins.
Witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of balloon inflation as the colours of sunrise reflect across the sky. Then, gently lift off and float over the lush, rolling countryside, rainforest-fringed mountains, and tranquil farmlands of the Tablelands. Keep your eyes peeled for wallabies and native birds as the morning light illuminates the landscape below.
After landing, enjoy fun balloon pack-up games before celebrating your flight with a glass of sparkling wine or juice and light refreshments. Relive your adventure with your included digital photo package - the perfect keepsake of your classic ballooning experience.
Return transfers bring you back to Port Douglas around mid-morning, leaving the rest of the day free to explore the tropics.
