What to expect
You'll be collected from a central Melbourne meeting point early morning and driven to the launch site. The balloon inflates on the ground—expect to watch this ritual before boarding the basket. Once airborne, the city unfolds beneath you in silence; wind direction guides your drift rather than any pilot input. Flight lasts roughly an hour. After landing and brief ground procedures, transport takes you to Collins Kitchen at the Grand Hyatt, where a champagne breakfast awaits with both hot and cold offerings. Plan on being finished by late morning.
Good to know
Book direct via BalloonMan's website if you need hotel pickup; this option isn't available through other channels. Public transport serves the breakfast venue. Not suitable if you have spinal issues or are pregnant. Wear layers—it's cooler aloft—and bring sunglasses.
