Magnificent flight
Chose the experience for a birthday gift and we weren’t disappointed. Despite the cold start to the day the balloon was soon ready and we launched. The flight was magnificent with panoramic views over the Melbourne skyline and parklands. After a great smooth landing we all assisted with the pack up and then went for our champagne breakfast which was delicious.
