Embark on an unforgettable hot air balloon adventure over the beautiful landscape of the Yarra Valley. Our expert pilots select optimal launch sites based on wind direction to deliver breathtaking sunrise views daily.
 
At Liberty Balloon Flights, we offer Australia’s premier ballooning experience, unrivalled in quality. Enjoy:

 

• A Melbourne City return bus transfer to the Yarra Valley (pick up from Federation Square)
• A stunning sunrise over the horizon with pilots boasting over 30+ years of expertise.

Your journey begins early, around 04:00 AM or earlier. We always meet 2.5 hours before sunrise, with:

• A confirmation SMS or WhatsApp message the evening before to confirm the exact meeting time.

• Launch timing adjusted with the seasons, slightly later in winter to catch the dawn.

• A quick check-in at Rochford Wines, 878-880 Maroondah Hwy, Coldstream VIC 3770. Followed by a short drive to the day’s launch site.

• A drift with the breeze, often launching upwind to glide into the valley.

• Hands-on opportunities to help set up or pack away the balloon - everyone can join in!

• A one-hour flight with pilots navigating wind layers to select the perfect landing spot. Complete experience lasting 5 to 6 hours.

• Return to Rochford Wines for a well-deserved breakfast.

 
Passengers over 130kg are encouraged to contact our office for personalised booking support.

Melbourne is a lovely city, always; but when you are able to
see it at sunrise from the vantage point of a hot air balloon flight you will
experience it in its full splendour. The Yarra River meandering through the
city, past the Australian Open Tennis Centre, the massive MCG, the light
reflecting on its modern buildings, the many parks and gardens so beautifully
kept…Melbourne proves time and time again why it so often is voted the most
liveable city in the entire World and a balloon flight with LIBERTY BALLOON FLIGHTS at Sunrise is surely the way to start a memorable day.
At the end of the flight and once we have arrived back, you will enjoy a 5-Star breakfast at the iconic Hotel Windsor in the City of Melbourne!
