The Great Ocean Flight - Geelong and Bellarine - Includes Breakfast
Where Coastline Meets Countryside
Ballooning near Victoria’s second biggest city Geelong, offers a stunning blend of coastal and rural landscapes. From above, passengers can take in rolling green hills, vibrant farmland, the winding Barwon River, and the sweeping coastline of Port Phillip Bay. On clear mornings, the view stretches to the You Yangs and even across to the ocean.
Flights launch from a variety of locations depending on the wind - sometimes from within Geelong itself, or from nearby spots like Murgheboluc, Bannockburn, or across the Bellarine Peninsula. Every launch point offers a different yet equally breathtaking perspective of the region.
Balloon flights in this area operate year-round, weather permitting, although the high season with greatest flight availability is November through to March. It’s a chance to discover one of Victoria’s most diverse and picturesque regions in a way few others have.
If you are self-driving to Geelong - allow just over an hour from Melbourne…leading into a breathtaking morning adventure. Perfect for a day trip or a relaxing overnight stay in the Geelong Bellarine region.
- Geelong Meeting Point: Arrive 1.5 hours before sunrise at Rydges Hotel, Geelong - your central meeting spot to connect with fellow passengers, pilots, and crew before the adventure begins. Link to location - HERE

Adventure Balloon Flight Geelong - 2 people
In the Summer of 2017 and 2018, we started operations in Geelong a few times a week, weather permitting. Enjoy the spectacular views from a balloon basket and experience this ancient sport in the Geelong area. We now fly regularly and plan to continue! Depending on the wind direction, we shall choose launch locations that keep us away from the bay and Avalon Airport, but trying at the same time to give you the best views at Sunrise that the day can offer. With arrangements now with the City of Geelong, on some days we even take off from the city parks themselves and this not only allows great views of the city but also of the bay and the Bellarine Peninsula. Flights are at sunrise so we meet early, normally one and a half hours before the sun comes up. In Summer this is as early as 04:30 a.m and in Winter 06:30. This early time allows us the best views in the early morning light and it also allows us to fly when the winds are light, which is ideal for ballooning.
We meet at the Rydges Hotel on the corner of Myers Street &, Gheringhap Street, where you can easily park your cars. From here you will jump into our vehicles, which will drive you to the chosen launch site for that day. The inflation of a balloon will take approximately half an hour and passengers are welcome to help us with easy tasks, making the experience very interesting for those passengers who enjoy a bit of activity. Once ready, we will take off and fly for approximately one hour using the winds to navigate directions to a good landing site. The pilot will fly at different heights, sometimes low and slow, at other times nice and high to get the views and no, you WILL NOT feel height sick...trust us on that one. Ballooning is a gentle sport and, funnily enough, you do not have the feeling of depth which is what makes people scared of heights. It is extremely, extremely unusual for anybody to be nervous during a flight...it is more like "I don't know what I was worried about!!" kind of feeling.
After we have landed, we pack the equipment away and drive you back to our original meeting point where many passengers chose to stay for a lovely (optional) breakfast.
