Ballooning Over Melbourne

Ballooning over the beautiful city of Melbourne - An unforgettable experience.

Global Ballooning flight over Melbourne is a truly unique experience or gift. By selecting to fly with Global Ballooning you are choosing Australia’s most professional ballooning company to take you on a wonderful journey. This ballooning website is an extension of our main website www.globalballooning.com.au dedicated to our hot air balloon flights over Melbourne. Here you will find information specific to Melbourne ballooning and imagery to support our claim of being the best hot air balloon operator in Melbourne, Victoria.

You will share your Melbourne balloon flight with a maximum 10 passengers in the basket. The basket is big enough to make you feel at ease and totally secure when you are looking down on a city laid out in miniature - you are also experiencing your first moment of being ‘lighter than air’.

The experience of a hot air balloon flight over Melbourne is a unique form of flying because there is no physical sensation of movement or perception of wind. You will travel with the gentle air currents that layer the sky. In contrast to standing on a building or structure, there is no fear of height, because your eyes have no linear perspective to judge distance from the ground. The feeling is one of peace and tranquillity as the earth seems to slowly descend and rotate below you. Within moments after lifting off, you become completely at ease while you effortlessly drift over the beautiful city of Melbourne and float over the countryside in gentle panoramic harmony with nature.

Whether you are young or old, to be flying in a hot air balloon over Melbourne is truly one of the world’s great adventures. City ballooning anywhere in the world is a rarity so when you traverse our city of over four million people in our wicker baskets you are enjoying an experience that is certainly unlike any other in the world of passenger ballooning.

We look forward to seeing you, your family or your friends soon.
