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.






Chris was very kind and gave us a bottle of sparkling to celebrate our anniversary day.

The staff (Chris & Quin) at the balloon man were incredibly friendly and professional, making us feel at ease and excited for our journey. The pilot Chris was experienced and knowledgeable, and he took the time to explain the safety procedures and what to expect during the flight.
As we ascended into the sky, we were greeted with breathtaking views of the landscape below. The sensation of floating peacefully and silently through the air was truly unforgettable. The feeling of serenity and tranquility was heightened by the soft, warm glow of the early morning sun.
My girlfriend and I were in awe of the stunning scenery below as we soared over rolling hills, lush forests, and shimmering lakes. The pilot provided us with interesting information about the area, pointing out landmarks and sharing local history.
It was a surreal and humbling experience to see the world from a bird's-eye view.
The entire journey was incredibly romantic, and we felt like we were in our own little world as we floated effortlessly through the sky. We shared kisses and sweet moments, creating memories that we will cherish forever.
As we descended back to the ground, we were given a champagne toast to celebrate our successful flight. It was the perfect end to a perfect adventure.
I highly recommend a hot air balloon ride for anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience. It's the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion with a loved one, and the beauty and tranquility of the flight will leave you feeling inspired and rejuvenated. It's an experience that we will always treasure and one that I would definitely do again in the future.


The staff were so lovely and made the experience one I will never forget




Departed from Royal Park, cruised over the CBD and safely landed at Moorabbin airport
Thanks Paul and Quinn!




The views and the feeling of sailing smoothly over all the Landmarks were sinply amazing. Could not think of a better way to start into a day!







Such an amazing experience flying over the CBD and watching the sun rise in the east.
A beautiful breakfast afterwards with Chris and his crew. Thank you Balloon Man - you gave us an experience we will never forget.

The views were absolutely breathtaking and something I hope everyone gets the chance to experience once in their life.
A special shout-out to Chris for making it super memorable.

We had an amazing experience this morning flying with Chris in his hot air balloon, watching the sunrise across Melbourne’s panoramic views. A lovely way to end 2023, big thanks to Chris and his team!

Our balloon flight was postponed a few times due to weather but there was fantastic communication every time.
All the staff were friendly and made the whole experience very enjoyable.
Paul had a great sense of humour and Chris made they whole experience run smoothly.

We had a lovely time with Chris and Adrian. We liked that we didn’t have to worry about taking photos and got to enjoy the view cos they took care of it


Our pilot Chris on both occasions was very experienced and knowledgeable, and he took the time to explain everything about ballooning to us before we took off and guided us on the flight. He was also very safety-conscious, and we always felt completely safe in his hands.
The flight itself was absolutely amazing. The views from the basket were incredible, and it was so peaceful to float through the air. We enjoyed spotting landmarks in Melbourne and having a different perspective of the city we live in.
After the flight, BalloonMan provided us with free photographs and videos that had been taken using an aerial camera. This was a great added touch, and it allowed us to capture all of the amazing memories from our flight. Our booking also included a buffet breakfast at the Grand Hyatt which was a good end to a lovely morning.
Overall, I had an excellent experience with BalloonMan Hot Air Balloon. The staff were friendly and professional, the pilot was experienced and knowledgeable, and the flight itself was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend BalloonMan to anyone looking for a safe and enjoyable hot air balloon experience.
