Up, up and away! Get The Best Views of Melbourne by Hot Airballooning

The views of a floating penthouse!

If you haven’t been hot airballooning, its this simple. You’re missing out – FOMO kinda stuff and there is no better way to start your day. Why you ask? Because on the right morning you’ll get some of the most spectacular views you’ve probably ever seen, unless you’re a nomad travelling type thats been to 45 different countries yeah you might beat it – anyway we digress.

Did we mention that the team at liberty ballooning are awesome? You’ll meet in the city and they’ll drop you off at the launch site where you’ll help them rollout the balloon and get it all prepped for lift off!

If you’re the kind thats scared by heights or flying it might be something to think about, but its not a rough ride at all, in fact at times it’s incredibly peaceful as you cruise gracefully through the air.

From start to finish there’s plenty of time to take take the perfect sunrise shot or the standard hot airballoon selfie, or be zen and one with the skyline as you sail away, sail away Enya style.

During your flight you’ll get to see the Yarra River meandering through the city, past the Australian Open Tennis Centre, the goliath MCG, the many parks and gardens so beautifully kept as well as the light reflecting beautifly off the glass covered buildings. Melbourne likes to prove time and time again why it so often is voted the most liveable city (sorry Sydney.. not!)
