Sunrise Balloon Flight Over Melbourne

Catch Melbourne at its most magical—drifting above the city at sunrise with unmatched views and expert guidance.

Getting started

Meet at The Hotel Windsor, the designated pickup point for all passengers. Be ready at the scheduled time for your transfer to the launch site. Bring a valid photo ID and your booking confirmation—either printed or digital—for check-in. There’s no formal security screening, but staff may verify details before boarding.

What to expect

Take off just before sunrise and experience Melbourne from a breathtaking aerial perspective. This is one of the few places in the world where hot air balloons fly directly over a major city—making it a truly unique and memorable way to start your day. While the flight itself lasts around one hour, the full experience—including transfers, balloon setup, and packing—takes approximately four hours.
