Breathtakingly Beautiful - This balloon flight was a gift to my 2 sisters. It was in their bucket list. We had already had it cancelled once due to frost in June. I flew once again from Western Australia to participate with them. So everything hung on the weather. We got the go ahead and it couldn't have been a more amazing morning. Victor and Mitch were brilliant. Both with many years flying experience made us feel safe. Victor the Captain was professional and knew exactly how to fly that balloon with ease. The sights were breath taking and words cannot express the sheer beauty and magnificence of the experience. Cannot recommend Picture This Ballooning highly enough. What an experience. Thank you for landing with ease and skill.

Great way to start the day - It might have been an early start but the experience will last a lifetime. Beautiful sunrise while watching Melbourne wake up. Viktor made us feel safe. A very competent driver. Jason also made us feel part of the team and we all enjoyed having a small part in our flight. ✅

Spectacular flight - Our day started off in a magnificent way. We were met by Jason and Victor who were our escorts for the trip in the balloon. Once at the launch site we assisted them to prepare the balloon and once ready we all climbed into the basket. The takeoff was very smooth and soon we were floating effortlessly above Melbourne. The weather was perfect and we travelled over the suburbs at a variety of heights. The views were magnificent and the sunrise spectacular. Our hour long flight was great and the landing very smooth. After assisting to put the balloon and basket away we headed back to the Sofitel for a delicious champagne breakfast. What a great start to the day

Must be try the only city hot air balloon around the world - I went to Melbourne take hot air balloon 2022/08/28~09/03 but weather not good canceled everyday until I left. This time I went to there before winter, we did that. Wake up in the 4:30am is pretty cold in the morning but when we stay in sky see the views so beautiful everything is worth it!!!! The views is amazing.

Unforgettable Birthday Hot Air Balloon Experience over Melbourne - We had the most incredible hot air balloon ride over Melbourne to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and it was a truly special way to spend the day together. Watching the sunrise from the balloon was spectacular—seeing the first light of day illuminate the city and the surrounding landscapes was an unforgettable sight. The views of Melbourne from above were breathtaking and offered a unique perspective of the city’s beauty. Our pilot, Viktor, was outstanding, his expertise was evident throughout. Peter, the crewman, was also fantastic, ensuring everything ran smoothly and adding to the overall enjoyment of the experience. Following our flight, we enjoyed a lovely breakfast at the Sofitel with Viktor and Peter. The food was delicious, and it was great to continue the experience with such a friendly and professional team. This hot air balloon ride was a wonderful way to celebrate a special occasion, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in Melbourne. Thank you, Viktor and Peter, for making our day so memorable!

Amazing experience! - Amazing! It was great to get there in the dark & watch the sunrise over the city while flying over all the landmarks. Even helping to pack up the balloon was a great hands on experience. Highly recommend this tour & would go again.
