We had a great experience with Hot Air. The staff was fun, courteous and professional. The day we went up, they had had 15 people cancel at the last minute, so were having to rearrange the flights and trip locations. This was all handled with a minimum of fuss and we hardly knew what had happened. What a great experience... More

This was our first experience of hotair ballooning and we decided to go with this company, http://www.hotair.com.au/cairns. Unfortunately, on the morning of the hotair, midway being airborne, the rain arrived. There was not much of a sunrise as a result, which was a shame. Though, the crew was fairly professional and friendly. The most interesting thing of the trip was... More

On a 3-week tour with Tauck, the Hot Air excursion was a definite highlight. Well worth the "early to bed & early to rise". Our driver Shane made the ride seem super short from Kewarra Beach Resort to the Mareeba launch site. And our pilot Victor flew this impossibly big balloon across the Atherton Table Lands with impossible grace. Don't... More

We had a great time. It was my first time in a hot air balloon. The ride so smooth, and not scary at all. The sunrise was beautiful. We spotted kangaroos hopping around below. Too cool!!!(www.hotair.com.au/cairns)

My wife and I had a great time with Viktor as our trusty pilot. It was our first time in a hot air balloon and we were blown away with the experience. The tour (www.hotair.com.au/cairns) is professionally run and comfortable. There was WiFi on the buses heading to the site and they left it on while the balloons were inflating.... More

This was my first time riding balloon. I was eager to see the sunrise and thankfully I was not disappointed. The weather helped a lot. The tour offered by hot air (www.hotair.com.au/cairns) is excellent. Everything very organized. The adventure is not limited to the balloon ride itself, at the end of the tour we are invited to help disarm and... More

Once in the lifetime, I've experienced this amazing flight with giant balloon! Getting up early morning, I thought I would be sleepy on the bus getting to Balloon but the driver, Shane was amazing. His friendliness and enthusiastic voice have kept me awake and excited about the flight! When we went up there, my daughter & I enjoyed the spectacular... More

This is a must if you are in Cairnes! The people are amazing, the ride spectacular, and the view is one of a kind! Thank you for a wonderful vacation experience!

This moonset - sunrise flight from Cairns was absolutely spectacular! Rising in the dark, then seeing the first streaks of fuchsia on the horizon, gliding along serenely, then watching a glorious sunrise, beautiful views, and a great landing! A fantastic experience! Our pilot, Johan, and his staff were great! Would I do this again? YES!
