From start to finish, the booking process and communication were seamless and professional, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. On the day, the team were not only highly skilled but also genuinely delightful—so friendly, funny, and full of great energy. They really made the experience feel special.
I couldn’t recommend The Balloon Man more highly. If you’re thinking about doing a hot-air balloon ride, this is the team to go with! 🎈
10 ppl per basket, our group had great staff with CJ our van driver and Paul our pilot. Makes a BIG difference when they share the love of what they do with us. 💪.
Chris piloted the other basket and his group had a proposal on it 💕 (she said yes hehe).
This trip was a b.day present for my sister's 50th last year. We booked the day in Jan specifically for March for the 6am pick up (and not earlier hehe). We also had the Buffet brekky at The Grand Hyatt - OMG worth the over eating for 🤣. If ya don't pay for the brekky in the package they offer it at the drop off 😋.
Wear good shoes (the am fields will be damp), wear a hat or hoodie if the flames get a bit much on the noggin. Two ppl volunteer to help with the inflation of the balloon and we all (able bodied) help with the pack down and away at the end. I enjoyed that aspect of it. With all of us it was quick and easy 💪.
The route is not known until the day. All the balloon companies have hand helds and a What's App group. They drive us out to a llocation (also picked on the day) do a small balloon check of the wind, then all the companies pick the launch site and drive out to it.
Our basket ended up landing shorrt of the landing zone in a golf course. Paul and the other pilots are years and year's of experience and we were always in professional and skilled hands. The only casualties on the day were the disgruntled Golfers we interrupted lolz. The safety procedures are easy and practical in.the basket. Learnt that any time you hear a Balloon landing on a beach or golf course or other non set pick up site - it is always deliberate and 100% for the safer option.
Remember to take it in. It is spectacular ✨️
Insight recommend it.
After soaring gently over Melbourne taking in spectacular views, the journey concludes over a delicious champagne breakfast accompanied by our new found flight buddies! If you have been considering a balloon ride, don’t put it on your bucket list, do it now! Highly recommended.
The experience became even more special with the delicious breakfast at the Hyatt afterwards, which was beautifully arranged and very enjoyable. Overall, it was a perfectly organised and memorable experience that we would highly recommend to anyone looking for something unique and breathtaking
First of many
Chris was an amazing host: super friendly, attentive, and always creating a great vibe for everyone on board.
And seriously, do yourself a favour and book the breakfast option. You won’t regret it! An all-around perfect experience.
Reseña en español:
Una experiencia espectacular. Ver Melbourne desde arriba al amanecer es hermoso, la vista y el ambiente son increíbles. Chris fue un gran anfitrión y el desayuno vale totalmente la pena.
We felt safe and supported every step of the way- the champagne breakfast was the icing on the cake- all in all an unforgettable morning and we have no hesitation to recommend this to anyone
We all felt safe and had a wonderful time.
Thanks Chris and Richard for helping us create special memories.
I liked that the experience included being part of the set up and seeing everything that goes into getting these incredible contraptions up into the sky.
This crew have over 30 years of experience, and it shows.
We were part of a group who went to the Grand Highett Hotel for a champagne breakfast afterwards - highly recommend.
Our pilot Chris was an excellent host throughout the setup, flight, pickup and breakfast. Chris provided easy instructions, interesting facts, flew us safely, kept us entertained and made us feel comfortable and welcomed the whole time.
Awesome activity to do for my Mum's 70th birthday.
We felt safe the whole time.
Note: check start time and be at meeting point 30mins earlier. Timimg is around catching the sunrise
PS there's a 5-10min voluntary help in packing the balloon. Everyone helped which made it faster to pack up
We ended the trip with a beautiful breakfast spread at the Grand Hyatt hotel and a certificate of our journey.
Thanks team for an unforgettable morning!
From a work health and safety perspective, this operator failed to provide adequate duty of care: there was no proper debrief, no attention to passengers in distress, and no visible protocol to manage the emergency situation. The process of landing appeared chaotic and unsafe, lacking both risk mitigation measures and transparent communication with customers. This experience raises serious concerns about the operator's commitment to safety, compliance, and respect for passenger wellbeing.
These guys are amazing and our flight was incredible. For someone scared of heights I couldn't believe I had no fear up there.
I cannot recommend BalloonMan more highly and will be booking for another flight on my next trip.
