“A BIG shout out to TÜRKIYE BALLOON company. Their team was very kind, cheerful, and skillful making the HAB ride absolutely amazing for all of us. The pilot was very skillful bringing us low deep into the valley for close up look of the fairy chimneys. The ground team getting the balloon, nicknamed “the beast”, up and down, helped us in and out of the basket, pickup and drop off from hotel, AND hand delivered gift to us at the hotel afterwards. The gentleman went up to the restaurant looking for us just to deliver our gifts personally. AMAZING SERVICE through and through. Turkiyeballoons.com Cappadocia, Türkiye”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 270 reviews · from $400

Meet at the Sofitel Melbourne on Collins for an early hot-air balloon flight over the MCG, Yarra River, Shrine of Remembrance, and Flinders Street Station. The roughly three-hour outing includes transport options, a small-group flight, and a champagne breakfast afterward. Children aged six and up can fly.

“WOW, just WOW. What an incredible experience - the company were very professional, our pilot Dom was a super star, the views (and photos we took!) were absolutely amazing. The breakfast at Sofitel afterwards was also fantastic, a great way to finish up. I highly recommend Picture This Ballooning and the flight over Melbourne City.”
