Hot Air Balloon Flight Over The Yarra Valley Plus Free Photos

We had a great time! We met at Chateau Yering at 4:45am, and were taken to the launch site at St Andrews. The briefings by Storm, the ground crew, and Harry, the pilot, were comprehensive and well explained. Safety is clearly a priority for Go Wild Ballooning. Getting in and out of the basket wasn't an issue. A small set of steps helped those of us who had some minor mobility concerns. With only seven passengers in the basket, there was plenty of room, and it was easy to hear Harry pointing out the sights during the flight, which lasted just over an hour. Harry read the winds perfectly, and we landed in the grounds of Chateau Yering after a spectacular flight. As our flight was in September, the morning temperature was just below zero when we were waiting to launch. Waterproof shoes, gloves, a hat, and a warm jacket were essential. The breakfast at Chateau Yering after the flight was a great way to wind down and chat to the other passengers and the pilot. Highly recommended!

Harry said “bit of a bump”. It was a big bump thank you. Haha. The experience was amazing. We will definitely do it again

I absolutely loved it!... breath taking.. thank you to Mark and Chris for an amazing experience. Highly recommend!

Harry and Storm were amazing. We had the best time. The guys were friendly, informative, and gracious with their time.

5 for the ride, did this today, our son proposed to his girlfriend, lucky for her she excepted, bit of a drop from 1400 ft, was just such a polished outfit from start to finish, safety a priority, and still made sure every one had a great time, ticked that one off now, could not have been happier with the whole day, cheers to the crew, big thanks.

Friendly staff well organised and made me comfortable as it was my first as I am in my 70 s I am going to go again

Great experience, staff was very competent and reassuring on the flight conditions. The setting up of the Hot Air Baloon was unexpected and made us fell involved full on the experience, we learned a lot of useful info on the flight and functioning. Definitely recomended to explore the Yarra Valley

We had such an exciting time with Harry our pilot and Storm. The day was crisp with perfect conditions for flying. The views were incredible, we saw all the way to Melbourne. We always felt safe and the sunrise was glorious. Well worth the experience.

It was beautiful and serene, timing wad perfect, we had a lovely sunrise. The sound of the birds below added to the beauty of the trip

Getting up at 4am was hard but totally worth it when we burst through the clouds to an amazing view of the sunrise and ranges.

That was an amazing experience. Yarra Valley view was so beautiful. Hot Air balloon operator was very nice and friendly and the team was very cooperative.

One of the best thing we did while in Melbourne. Lost my iPhone during folding of the balloon even though the pilot clearly warned us about losing stuff when folding the balloon. So it's my fault hehe. Hope they find it. Besides that, everything went perfectly well thanks to the wild ballooning team.

It was so beautiful and felt very safe! We got to see so much of the valley! Really enjoyed being able to go as a family.

First time ballon experience & it’s fantastic. The pilot & the crew are the best & we have lovely view of sunrise in Yarra Valley. Must try experience 👍

What an incredible experience! We took 3 generations of our family on this flight, and everyone had a wonderful time. Harry and the team were seasoned professionals, creating a relaxed atmosphere, which was complemented by the beautiful morning and the gorgeous sunrise. We loved this day and cant thank the team at Go Wild enough!!

Beautiful ride and the staff were incredible. Didn’t feel overcrowded. Didn’t realise how much extra work it was to help pack up the balloon. Went with my mum - found it difficult to get into basket. Also included breakfast - this was with everyone that I wasn’t expecting - would have preferred a single table.
