About this tour
Rise above Brisbane's Scenic Rim at dawn in a hot air balloon, drifting silently over rural landscape before helping deflate and pack the aircraft yourself. After landing, settle into a winery's full hot breakfast with sparkling wine, then return to Nerang or Canungra by air-conditioned vehicle. The 4–6 hour experience includes flight certificate, photos, and exclusive vineyard access.

What to expect
You'll be collected early from Nerang or Canungra and driven to the launch site in the Scenic Rim. After a safety briefing, you'll board the basket for a serene float across the landscape—expect 45–60 minutes aloft, moving gently with wind patterns rather than engine noise. Once grounded, you're invited to help fold and pack the envelope, a surprisingly hands-on finale most flyers never experience. Back at the winery, tuck into a proper hot breakfast spread with cold options, then settle with sparkling wine as you debrief. Return transport is relaxed; some passengers continue onward to other plans.
Good to know
Early start (pre-dawn), so arrange accommodation nearby if needed. Children under 4 cannot fly. Pregnant travellers are excluded. You must board the basket unaided; those with spinal, cardiac, or mobility concerns should check with the operator first. Minimum passenger numbers apply; cancellation after booking is possible with full refund or alternative offered.
