Exhilarating fun balloon flight We flew right over the city and the views were spectacular The crew were friendly and experienced and it felt completely safe
Fantastic experience. Chris and Richard were great hosts and very helpful for me getting in and out.
Company cancelled the flight at the last minute then kept $100 in 'booking fees' My advice would be to keep shopping, buy elsewhere.
Good afternoon, what about some compensation considering we were not notified of the cancellation and attended the meet up point at 6 am on Sunday morning after travelling from Albury/Wodonga (four hours away) and a night accommodation? Only to have to do our own running around calling when no one picked us up. I think $300 compensation will cover the fuel and the accommodation for our very disappointing weekend. And just to confirm I have contacted consumer affairs who have advised me that reasonable compensation should be awarded in this type of scenario. James.
Chris was fantastic! He explained everything thoroughly and made us feel very safe and secure. He is extremely knowledgeable with over 30 years experience. He pointed out certain landmarks as we came across them and we even flew over his daughter who then sent him a selfie 🤣 He captured my partner proposing to me on video and now I can rewatch that moment forever 🥰 He was very comical and had a great sense of humour making the whole experience a joy. We will definitely be doing this again!
Wonderful experience. Super professional. I would do it again and I recommend it. Thank you Cris and Michael
Best experience with paul , paul was informative and was happy to answer all of our questions
What an awesome experience! It was great to to be involved with preparing the balloon for the flight and packing up. Safe and well managed flight. The sights were amazing.
Just an amazing experience flying silently over Melbourne and surroundings waking up in the sunrise 🌅 Proffesional and funny pilot-yes you Chris😁.
Very enjoyable experience, recommended
Chris and CJ looked after us from the outset, it was an amazing experience floating above the CBD office blocks in Melbourne. Would recommend this to everyone.
Breathtaking views, smooth ride, and an unforgettable sunrise experience. Truly magical adventure!An absolutely stunning and peaceful experience! The sunrise over the landscape was breathtaking, and the crew made us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the flight. Floating high above the fields felt surreal — it’s a perfect mix of adventure and serenity. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a memorable and romantic experien
It's no doubt that this balloon ride is the highlight of our family trip! The team was nice and it was not so cold as expectation. Thank you for a fantastic experience :))
First balloon experience on a glorious morning. Thanks Paul and CJ for a memorable family bucket list moment. Highly recommend even for those not so great with heights!
Had an awesome time with Paul and CJ. Certainly recommend getting on to a hot air balloon as it is an incredibly unique experience
We loved our balloon rode with Chris and Richard. It was very relaxed. We got to learn about the set up and pack up, and other aviator fun facts. A champagne breakfast was a great way to end the experience.
Exhilarating, exciting and once in a life time experience ! Will surely visit whenever coming next time!!strongly recommend any visitor to Melbourne not to miss it
This was the most amazing experience ever! Chris the pilot and Adrian were fantastic, so friendly and easy going. We loved every minute of it. Floating over the city was just breath taking!
Great flight the city was spectacular! Awesome breakfast afterwards at the Grand Hyatt. Very efficient professional set up! ......
Solo experiences remain superior 👏🏽😍 groups of 10 in each balloon. Our pilat was Chris. Great time indeed. Amazing pictures. Peaceful environment.
Chris and Gregor were amazing. It was a spectacular trip, perfect weather, views that were just incredible. I would highly recommend this trip.
Early start with the dry humoured Chris and Pau, fantastic journey 17 hundred metres above the beautiful city of Melbourne. Totally recommend. Ps ...I dont like heights but it's not scary, Totally serene. Thanks guys x
The view were amazing and it’s safe for kids too and it’s a safe adventure. And it’s safe to take pictures with your camera
Was nervous but guide was great and felt very safe. He did a fabulous job. Great way to see Melbourne. Very spectacular. Amazing views
What an amazing way to start the day. A wonderful Melbourne experience, like no other. Chris and the BalloonMan are awesome to fly with.
We had a truly magical hot air balloon ride — the sunrise was breathtaking, and the panoramic views were simply stunning. The entire flight was smooth and serene, with a gentle landing that made the whole journey feel effortless. Our pilot was professional, skilled, and made us feel safe throughout. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience something extraordinary!
Simply beautiful to sl Silently soar over Melbourne chilly morning frost on the ground at sight to behold Do let time pass you by go for a balloon flight with Chris the balloon man
Such an incredible experience! We were so lucky to have such amazing weather - was extremely clear so we got to go over the city. So serene and a great way to appreciate Melbourne. Knowledgeable and friendly team, Chris and Gregor were super sweet! Flight was really smooth and steady. Exceeded all expectations, Highly recommend! Glad to be able to tick it off the bucket list - would 100% love to experience again. Thank-you Balloonman
The communication and planning involved from the Balloon Man team was outstanding. Chris and Quin (Hope I got that right) ensured we had a wonderful time and at the same time ensured our safety. The views were just breathtakingly beautiful. Showed a completely different side of Melbourne. Must do activity if you’re in Melbourne or visiting Melbourne!
My issue is with Tripadvisor and Viator. Balloonman cancelled and Tripadvisor/Viator did not refund the payment in full. Book direct with whichever company is providing the experience - Tripadvisor/Viator offers nothing but fees. I would have complained but they are impossible to reach by email or phone.
Thank you to Harry and Quinn for an amazing ballooning experience. The morning ran perfectly, and that sun rise - stunning! Thanks again to The Balloonman team!
Amazing balloon trip 🤩🤩🤩 unforgettable view 🥰🥰🥰 perfect organization 🫶. Don’t miss your chance to get this experience 🥳🥳🥳
Wonderful experience in safe hands and basket. The staff are so experienced and professional. Harry steered the ship smoothly and Quinn is a total honey. Best company!
So amazing 😻 one of the best things I have ever done ✅ this was a present 🎁 from my hubby for my 60th birthday 🎈 Loved it ❤️Highly recommend it and I would do it again -100 percent ❤️❤️
A truly epic and memorable experience run by the Balloon Man, Chris and supported by Quinn. Absolutely first class in all respects, very experienced and would highly recommend!
Simply Amazing! Thrilling and mesmerising experience. We enjoyed it a lot. Lot of picture opportunities. Very friendly team, great narrations. Breathtaking Melbourne scenic and made our special day much more special.
It was our first time trying a Hot Air Ballon and most of us had butterflies in our stomach climbing in. The Team , 3 gentlemen all called Chris, started our journey to a field where the beautiful balloon was unfolded and aired up. Going up into the sky was beautiful. Then there was the sunrise and gorgeous view of Melbourne at 4000 ft . Thank you for the great experience!
Amazing experience! See the city like never before. Super friendly staff, smooth flight, knowledgeable pilot and guide 🙂
Chris gave us a beautiful experience - calm, stunning, and just a bit cheeky (but not too much!). His 30+ years of experience made everything, from go to woah (with hardly a bump on landing!!!), smooth as …
Nice 😛 Chris and Chris was amazing and we are so glad to have joined the flight before we leave Melbourne. Amazing experience!
Highly recommended, was such an amazing event altogether. The team was great, overall a once in a lifetime experience.
Brilliant staff, very friendly and professional guys. We had the best time and felt safe the whole time. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
Great experience! Chris and Paul were experienced pilots who brought calm to passengers. A must do in Melbourne! Such a unique life memory!
Amazing, First time ever on a ballon. The whole trip went so smooth. Landing was even smoother. The crew are so friendly, experienced and well organized.
Paul (pilot) and Quinn (driver) were excellent and hilarious. The flight was impeccable and landing unforgettable. I highly recommend Balloon Man!
Beautiful, worth it! Wnt with Paul and Chris and everything was perfect, will come back again without a doubt... Lot of fun
Amazing flight this morning. Beautiful views of the CBD. Felt in very safe hands. Smooth landing. Thanks Paul and Quinn. 😄
Amazing and unforgettable experience over stunning Melbourne! Departed from Royal Park, cruised over the CBD and safely landed at Moorabbin airport Thanks Paul and Quinn!
Had a wonderful flight with spectacular weather over Melbourne. Felt at ease and safe with Paul as pilot and Quinn as ground crew. Highly recommend.
