Carrara (Gold Coast - Queensland)
Your balloon flight takes place over the Gold Coast & Hinterland. The actual launch and landing sites, and the flight path are decided by the pilot on the morning of the flight based on the wind direction and speed that morning.
Exact meeting point and supplier's details are provided immediately after booking.
Our balloons hold 5, 10 and 16 passengers. The big balloon baskets are divided into compartments each taking 3 or 4 people. Everyone has ample space and a dedicated part of the basket edge to call their own and to lean on and look out from.
You should allow approximately 4 hours from start to finish including 1 hour in the air, followed by a lovely champagne breakfast.
As your comfort and safety are our primary considerations we will not fly if the weather conditions are unsuitable - primarily if it is too windy or too wet. If we are weathered out we will reschedule to another date that suits you, so please take this into account when making your booking.
Others are very welcome to come along on the morning without going on the balloon flight. They can follow the
flight by following our vehicles to the landing site. They can also join in the champagne breakfast after the flight.
