Could not rate this experience highly enough. The Go Ballooning team are amazing. From the time you first make contact, to the incredible experience itself, then to a delicious breakfast and getting you back to your hotel. They look after you. Highly recommended. Thanks team for an amazing experience. Have already recommended you to everyone we talk to.

Amazing sunrise hot air balloon experience ✨
jinz532, October 2026
Very good, the tour guide was very enthusiastic, picked us up and dropped us off directly, the emotional value was maxed out, we successfully saw the sunrise, it was super beautiful, and there were so many small animals, the landing was very smooth, and we had milk tea and small cookies to eat, so thoughtful, and they were super enthusiastic in taking pictures for us to remember.

The wonder of dawn that a lighter than air experience can provide
Lippyaker, October 2026
An excellent experience watching the sunrise over Mount Tambourine. The aeronaut was extremely experienced but also ebullient in his manner to highlight the history of ballooning, highlighting geographical points of note as well as keys to the arcane art of navigating and landing a balloon. I felt safe during the flight and enjoyed the serenity that comes from a dawn fli ch t in a balloon over a bucolic countryside. Thanks team at GO for a very memorable morning.

The experience was great, the captain was funny. Remember to wear a jacket in the high altitude, it gets cold. All my family members loved this activity 💯
