DESCRIPTION: Enjoy a sunrise hot air balloon flight over Melbourne and Champagne Breakfast. This is a truly remarkable experience and there certainly is no better way to take in Australia's second largest city.
Meet your hot air balloon pilot half an hour before sunrise for a short safety briefing. You will then be taken to the balloon launch site, where you can either participate in the launch or stand back and take some pictures. It is then time for lift off! In the early morning light our balloons drift by the array of parks and gardens that make Melbourne the world's most liveable city. As the city comes to life you will look down from your balloon onto some of the cities iconic sporting venues like the MCG, Melbourne Park and Albert Park racetrack. After we land and pack the balloon away, we head back to the Hilton on the Park Hotel where you can celebrate your morning's adventure over a 5-star buffet breakfast!
