Such an amazing experience from start to finish. The team were fantastic. If you’re visiting Melbourne this is a must! 100% recommend. The views were incredible throughout the flight, we got to look over the city and the yara river. And seeing the sun rising over Melbourne was beautiful and peaceful.

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.

The experience is just breathtaking! I have done other exciting adventures in my life, such as skydiving or rafting, but this one differed completely. Instead of feeling anxious or scared at times, here you feel calm and peaceful from start to finish. Even the take-off is smooth, and the preparation of the balloon beforehand is kinda entertaining. Once you are up in the clouds, it's like becoming the wind while you are looking at the beautiful surroundings from a very special place. No bumps, no sudden drops, just gently floating around, enjoying the sky changing colours together with other hot air balloons adding to the scene here and there. I never wanted it to end! This was such a pleasant experience that I would repeat it again and again. Peter and Brad were a fantastic crew. You can rest assured you are in good hands. Thanks a lot 🎈

JUST BOOK IT!
What an unforgettable experience hot air ballooning over Melbourne CBD! From start to finish, everything was seamless and well-organised. Pilot Pete and driver Brad were absolutely amazing—professional, friendly, and made us feel completely safe and at ease the entire time.
The views were nothing short of spectacular. Floating over the city as the sun rises is something you truly have to see to believe. Every step of the process, from pickup to drop-off, was clearly explained with care, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
I’ve shared a few photos on my social media and had so many people asking what it was like. Honestly, all I can say is — JUST BOOK IT! You won’t regret it. Highly, highly recommended.
PS: also here for the raffle haha, friends and family jealous I went, so hopefully I get lucky to share this experience.

Moral of the story…. JUST DO IT!!!
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!

Absolutely fantastic trip with amazing views.
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.

Absolutely incredible experience with Liberty Balloon Flights
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. 🎈
