Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What an experience.
Nov. 2023 • Friends
From being collected by Brownie, who was so funny even that early in the day, through to the journey back to our hotel this was the perfect hot air balloon experience. It was more than just the ride, nothing was too much trouble, we felt safe and well cared for. I can’t imagine anyone could do it better, such a great day with very happy memories.

Loved this hot air balloon adventure! Saw the sun rise over the lovely town of Mareeba while watching kangaroo and wallaby in the paddocks below! The crew and pilot were entertaining and fun! Loved the bubbles and snacks provided at the end of our ride! Well worth a visit!

CAIRNS HOT AIR BALLOON SUPERB
Great staff, fun experience. Saw wallabys and kangaroos. After flight beverages and snacks a nice touch. The pilot was informative of the region and shared information about it.

This was a great event. Abit of a drive to get there but absolutely well worth it. Got to see a lot of the voubtryside and several farms. Capt Josh was friendly and informative. The landing was skilled and soft. Snacks and champagne super at the end. Experience of a lifetime.

Our driver Brownie was so pleasant and accommodating considering he picked us up at 3:50 AM, and then our pilot Frank made this an experience of a lifetime by answering all questions, flying us over areas where we can see the animals hopping around in their natural habitat, then provided refreshments & certificates after the ride...simply amazing 👏🏽 😀 😉

A wonderful time with a great professional staff who made me feel completely safe and also had a fun and entertaining attitude. I might only balloon once in my life, but I can definitely say I've done it with the best. What a memorable experience !!
