Sunrise Hot Air Balloon flight + FREE Cairns Aquarium entry
from A$495 per person
5 hours
Float above rainforest clad hills at sunrise on a peaceful hot air balloon flight, then enjoy complimentary entry to the stunning Cairns Aquarium.
Begin your morning in unforgettable style with a sunrise Hot Air Balloon flight over the Atherton Tablelands, one of Queensland's most scenic regions.
A comfortable air-conditioned coach will collect you from your Cairns accommodation before dawn and take you to the balloon launch site - where you'll witness the incredible sight of giant balloons inflating as the sun rises over the mountains.
Gently float above the rainforest-fringed peaks and rolling farmlands of the Tablelands as the world below wakes. Your classic balloon flight offers breath-taking panoramic views and a peaceful experience unlike any other.
Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife, such as wallabies and native birds, as the morning light paints the landscape in golden hues.
After landing, join in the fun of the traditional balloon pack-up games, then celebrate your flight with a refreshing glass of bubbly or juice.
You'll receive a digital photo package and a commemorative flight certificate signed by your pilot - perfect souvenirs of your adventure.
Your experience continues with complimentary entry to the Cairns Aquarium, where you'll explore Australia's only 10-metre Deep Reef Tank, a 360-degree Oceanarium, a 20-metre underwater tunnel, a mangrove boardwalk, and Australia's largest freshwater exhibit - bringing the wonders of the reef and rainforest together in one day.
