Up, Up & Away!
Hot Air Balloon Ride + Breakfast + Transport
Overview:
Rise and Shine with a Hot Air Balloon Adventure! Start your day with something truly magical—floating above the Yarra Valley at sunrise, with breathtaking views as far as the eye can see. This hot air ballooning experience is all about peaceful skies, stunning landscapes, and creating memories you’ll never forget. This is one of, if not the most premium tourist experiences to have in the Yarra Valley.
And if you want to do it properly, do it with Yarra Valley X. We will personally pick your group up so you all stay together, and we assure you all importantly wake up! We can take group photos, drop you back to your accommodation post the ride, and include any other stop for a photo of your group on the way back.
Itinerary:
Pick Up from Your Yarra Valley Accommodation
We’ll kick things off with an early pick-up from your Yarra Valley accommodation. Our tour leader will ensure the team stays together for the adventure, and you haven’t hit the Snooze button! We need to meet at Yering Estate 1hr before sunrise, so pick up will likely be 30 minutes before this, depending on your accommodation location.
Soar Above the Yarra Valley
The highlight of your morning—take off as the sun rises! You’ll soar over the Yarra Valley’s iconic scenery, soaking in the serenity and beauty that only ballooning can offer. Group photos can be taken by your tour leader during setup of balloon and whilst taking off! The flight time is approx. 1hr.
Land and Take in the Experience
Touch down after an unforgettable flight, feeling the thrill of the skies and the calm of the valley all around you.
Relaxing Breakfast at Chateau Yering
After your peaceful flight, we’ll head to Chateau Yering for a delicious breakfast. Enjoy a relaxing meal and the perfect chance to share your favourite moments from the sky with your fellow adventurers.
Drop-Off Back at Your Accommodation
We’ll drop you off, leaving you with memories of an amazing experience and a whole new perspective on the Yarra Valley. Optional Group Photo stop at another Yarra Valley location on way back.
