Great experience. Very well co ordinated and organised. Pick up from Fed Square was smooth. Balloon flight fantastic. Staff Brian and Thor were amazing. Brekkie bit of a let down - would have preferred a hot buffet as opposed to croissants after getting up at 3am. But on the whole, highly recommended.

🚀 Just had the most epic experience with Liberty Balloons! Brian, Ben, and Darty killed it 😎. The flight was super smooth and the sunrise over the Yarra Valley was absolutely stunning. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable adventure! Would happily fly with them again! 🌅🎈.
Wow! What an experience. Amazing views of the Yarra Valley with Melbourne in the distance. Vineyards and even kangaroos!! Fantastic way to spend the morning. Very experienced Pilot (Brian) who also acts as the Guide ***** Would highly recommend.
Awesome experience flying with Bryan. The experience was evident with the preparedness, the caveats, the punctuality and the discipline. The 101 training was brief, unambiguous and very apt for quick grasp. Bryan was conversant throughout the trip and very open to questions unless he's onto something important. Would highly recommend choosing days where weather plays nice and the previous night is light. Ended up with Wonderful memories, awesome clicks and a bucket list ticked off. Caution - every word of the advice has merits - shoes, trousers, hats, warm clothing (yes even in summer).
A fun and friendly team, an experienced pilot, and an experience I highly recommend! The ride was smooth, peaceful, and very well organized by the crew.
I felt very safe and well looked after. This was a great first time experience. A bonus that the view was amazing. A 14 out of 10 morning 🌄
A early morning made worth it by the friendly team and scenic views. An engaging experience, the team made sure everyone got involved.
Very slick operation! It run on time, all was explained along the way, we got to see how the balloon got inflated and attached to the basket as well as the dismantling at the end. The flight was amazing, about 1 hour long. Great guides/operators and certainly a once in a lifetime experience. Melbourne is the largest city in the world where a balloon flights over!
Do you want a fun experience that is exiting, fun & not something you do every day? A morning floating over the Yarra Valley with Brian as your Pilot is worth the early morning wake up. Jump in & help with the set up & pack up. Enjoy a beautiful sunrise & if you’e lucky you will see Kangaroos & maybe a Proposal. Brian & his team make the whole experience fun & you just might learn something.
A Great Experience, well worth the early wake up. Beautiful Sunrise. Brian is a 5 star Pilot. Saw an engagement proposal. Had fun helping set up & pack up. I would definitely recommend.
What an unforgettable experience. My partner and I had an extraordinary time from start to finish. Every member of the team was professional, warm, and genuinely welcoming. Our pilot, Brian, was exceptional—his calm assurance and depth of expertise made us feel completely at ease throughout the flight. His light-hearted humour and well-timed jokes added an unexpected charm, elevating the entire experience. The breakfast at Rochford was a perfect finale to the morning, offering a relaxed and elegant setting that complemented the adventure beautifully. I would wholeheartedly recommend this experience, particularly as a distinctive and memorable date idea. Truly worth every moment.
What a time! My partner and I took a balloon ride on a beautiful calm saturday morning, we had very nice wind conditions with a smooth perfect landing. We had a full basket, everyone was very engaged in the hour long experience. Brian, Darti, Benny and Collin are fantastic staff. They explained everything clearly and our group had the balloon packed up asap! A great activity for a couple or friends and family, I can highly recommend Liberty Ballooning 🍻
Can’t explain the experience of floating around in a balloon. Amazing . All the people involved from staff to customers were excellent. Not as scary as it would seem , clam and relaxing. Recommend anyone to do it
The most incredible experience. Can not fault the Liberty team, they made us feel so safe and even with some good humour sprinkled through our morning. The views are breathtaking, certainly worth the expense for this once in a life time flight. 100% recommend. Thank you Liberty Balloon Flights 🎈
The pick-up service was very convenient and timely. The driver was friendly, and getting to the launch site was easy and stress-free. A great start to an amazing hot air balloon experience! Buck list.. tick!! :)
The hot air balloon flight over the Yarra Valley was amazing! The views of the vineyards and valley at sunrise were breathtaking. The crew was friendly and professional, and the flight was smooth and peaceful. A truly unforgettable experience!
Wow! Spectacular experience. The Liberty were extremely professional and fun as well as taking safety seriously. So peaceful over the beautiful Yarra fields watched on by inquisitive cattle and kangaroos. Highly highly recommended.
Absolutely unforgettable experience! The sunrise flight over the Yarra Valley was breathtaking — peaceful, smooth, and stunning views in every direction. The team was professional, fun, and made the whole morning feel special. Finishing with a delicious breakfast and sparkling wine at Rochford Wines was the perfect ending. Highly recommend Liberty Balloon Flights!
