Balloon Flight Melbourne
Duration:
An Aerial City Like No Other
There’s nothing quite like watching Melbourne wake up from the quiet calm of a hot air balloon. At sunrise, the city is bathed in soft light, the Yarra River glistens, and iconic landmarks like the MCG, Australian Open Tennis Centre, and Royal Botanic Gardens slowly come to life.

Flight paths vary depending on wind conditions, offering a dynamic and unique view every time.

Took my daughter for her 9th birthday, will absolutely be back!
All in all, fantastic experience. Would highly recommend giving it a go and flying with liberty.
From the early morning check-in to the moment we gently landed, everything was exceptionally well organized and professionally managed. The team was warm, friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable and safe throughout the entire journey. Liberty Balloon Flights is known for its focus on safety and passenger experience, and that was evident from start to finish.
Watching the sunrise over Melbourne while floating peacefully above the city was simply breathtaking. Seeing iconic landmarks, the Yarra River, parks, and the city skyline from such a unique perspective was an experience that words can hardly describe. The flight itself was incredibly smooth, calm, and relaxing.
What impressed me most was the professionalism of the pilot and ground crew. Their knowledge, attention to detail, and passion for ballooning made the experience even more enjoyable. Every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure that guests had a fantastic time.
I would highly recommend Liberty Balloon Flights to anyone visiting Melbourne or looking for a special way to celebrate an occasion. It was an unforgettable adventure and undoubtedly one of the highlights of my trip to Australia.
Thank you to the entire Liberty Balloon Flights team for creating such wonderful memories. I look forward to flying again someday.
This is such an iconic Melbourne experience that everyone needs to do. I was lucky enough to see these magnificent balloons float by my hotel room just adding to the excitement that I was going to be part of. I truly enjoyed everything about my flight and will always remember and cherish this unforgettable experience. Waking up at 3:30AM is not a problem when you have something like this to look forward to. Also, being part of the balloon setup and breakdown just added to the overall successful experience. It was far worth it and I will do again when I visit Melbourne!
Nick (pilot) and Brad were fantastic!
Highly recommend Liberty balloon ride.
Peter and the crew had clear experience and a good sense of humor. Everyone was very patient and helpful and my mother and I had a great time. I plan on doing this again in the future with my husband and I would be happy to get Pete again.
Was very nice to see a perspective of Melbourne I've never seen before.
I wish all the team a lot of successes.
From start to finish, everything was seamless and professional. Our driver Brad was friendly, punctual, and made the early start feel easy and relaxed. He kept the mood upbeat and explained what to expect, which was really appreciated.
Our pilot Pete was outstanding — calm, confident, and clearly very experienced. He explained the process clearly, pointed out landmarks during the flight, and made the whole experience feel safe while still being exciting and memorable.
The views were breathtaking and the flight itself was smooth and peaceful — easily one of the most memorable experiences we’ve had. Highly recommend Liberty Hot Air Balloons, and if you get Brad and Pete, you’re in excellent hands.
Would do it again in a heartbeat. 🎈
Great teamwork
Nick, our pilot was great. Friendly and informative and a perfect landing.
We got very lucky with the weather, beautiful views over the city including the sunrise over the MCG.
Our meet time was 4:15am for the 6am sunrise then we were back at the hotel by 8am.
Pete is very experienced and knowledgeable about the navigation of the hot air balloon. He inspired confidence throughout the flight by his focus on details, communication with his crew on the ground, and by his systematic operational approach during the take off, flying, and landing. I completely felt safe flying with Pete being in control of the balloon, allowing me to enjoy the view of the beautiful city of Melbourne!
Brad and Paul are Pete's support crew, operating efficiently on the ground and demonstrating exemplary teamwork during the takeoff and landing.
Thank you Pete, Brad, and Paul for an unforgettable experience that I had flying with you, as I would gladly repeat it all over again.
We had the pleasure of flying twice with Liberty Balloons in the last month and it was an unforgettable experience.
Our pilot on both occasions was Peter and we truly couldn’t have been in safer hands. He has a great sense of humour and an incredibly calming nature about him (which helps at 3,000 ft in the air!). Paul and D’Artagnan are both hardworking, efficient, friendly and knowledgeable.
We took off this morning from Caulfield Racecourse where we were lucky enough to experience an incredible sunrise whilst travelling over the MCG and CBD before landing at Royal Park. The views were stunning and truly unforgettable.
Liberty Balloons has an obvious commitment to ensuring everyone has the best experience possible. The experience itself is absolutely incredible, but the team’s organisation, commitment to safety and warm nature is the reason the experience operates seamlessly. I would recommend flying with Liberty Balloons to anyone and everyone!
The views over the Melbourne area (CDB region) were breathtaking — the sunrise, the peaceful glide, and the beautiful landscape below made it truly unforgettable. Brian shared interesting insights about ballooning and the area, which added so much to the experience.
Brian also gave us a short training session on how to load and unload the balloon, and I hope we executed it properly.
Everything was well-organized and professional, yet warm and personal at the same time. We couldn’t have asked for a better morning. Highly recommend Liberty Balloons to anyone looking for a memorable and magical adventure! 🎈
A lifetime of experience. Thanks Liberty Balloon Flights.
We were always well informed and included in the entire process. Beyond our expectations. Loved it!!
It is really had a wonderful moment for air ballon via Liberty ! Highly recommend!!!
