What an incredible experience. If you only ever do one balloon flight, do this one. I was a little apprehensive as I am usually scared of heights, but weirdly I was absolutely fine in the balloon. I felt completely safe and am so glad I did it. It is apparently a very rare treat to fly over a city like this and Melbourne is so beautiful at sunrise. The whole operation was professional and well organised, from the meeting in the morning right through to the landing. Our pilot Nick, along with crew James and Darty were friendly and professional throughout, we feel lucky to have flown with them

Very Friendly team!! Landing and lift off was smooth.. the views 100% worthy every dollar !!
Really good enjoyable experience, very experienced balloon pilots, meeting location very easy to get to, and ferried to and from landing and take off sites.
We had the most amazing experience with Pete. The trip was smooth and very peaceful, a gentle landing and views postcard worthy. Thank you for such a beautiful start to our day.
It was a lovely morning for a flight, the sun came over the mountains and we got to see some great sights from above. We saw the CBD, harbour and the lovely surroundings. We even spotted some kangaroos hopping along below us. A lovely experience and friendly staff. We felt safe the whole time and the landing was way smoother than expected.
Fantastic flight! Brilliant aviation- from takeoff to landing, fabulous experience! Thanks Pilot Peter and second mate and ground crew Corporal Brad!
Best experience we had in Melbourne, by far! The weather was lovely, Dan and Paul gave us the best time both on the ground and in the air, 10/10 would do it again!

We had a perfect day for Flying and everything was very enjoyable, Thanks to Pete our Pilot who was very experienced and knowledgeable! Also thanks to the ground crew in Brad who was very good at his job! It was a great experience and if you are in Melbourne we both can't recommend Liberty Ballons enough! Good value for money and it should be on everyone's bucket list!
Such an amazing experience, Peter and Brad are the A team!! From safety briefing to setting up to fly, from lots of different heights to landing my experience with Liberty was sublime!! So glad I booked with Liberty. Highly recommend!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!! Thank you Peter and Brad!!

Such a unique but excellent adventure. Peter and Rob were great hosts. Thoroughly recommend
An absolute my to do. Incredibly safe and a nice way to see the city from a different view.
Hands down the coolest experience of my life! When you're down in the city, you have no idea how vast and grand it truly is. But once you're up in the sky, looking down on everything feels absolute magical—almost like a god’s-eye view. Truly an unforgettable feeling!
Was a beautiful fantastic experience loved every moment

Amazing views over the city and a great group of people in the basket. All in all, fantastic experience. Would highly recommend giving it a go and flying with liberty.
Amazing experience with pilot Dan and crew Rob! So peaceful and enjoyable, I’m terrified of heights and it wasn’t scary at all! Took my daughter for her 9th birthday, will absolutely be back!
My hot air balloon flight over Melbourne with Liberty Balloon Flights was truly one of the most memorable experiences of my life. 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.
Awesome experince, well run. Beautiful views! My favourite part was the drag landing 😂
