What an amazing experience. We booked this adventure for our 40th Wedding Anniversary and actually did it on the day. From the moment of pick up we had a blast. Tony was an absolute cheeky character who hit it off well with my husband who is also cheeky. The bus ride to Mareeba was relaxing and upon arrival at the site to see the balloons being prepped was a great sight. Finally able to board and a little apprehensive, Frank (pilot) was amazing at making us all laugh with great knowledge and sense of humor. The flight itself was fantastic and nerves soon turned into wonder. Floating over homes, vineyards, farms etc was a sight to behold. Loved watching all the dogs barking at us as we flew over their yards. A drop of champers and juice to celebrate after landing and packing up was the icing on the cake. What an amazing professional and funny team. I would love to do it again. Highly recommend.

Great morning trip. The crew at 'Hot Air' were great and made the trip a special highlight. Thoroughly recommend a hot air balloon ride.

Just the whole experience at 80yrs and 77yrs old was fantastic. The guys were so entertaining from being picked up from hotel and driven up to Mareeba and the whole flight experience as well as helping to pack up the balloon at the end was brilliant. Then to top off with champagne and orange. Met some great young people and couples like ourselves. All round a brilliant morning

The professional and helpful service Frank, Brian and Tony gave us will be unforgettable. I will be highly recommending the balloon flight to family and friends, I will also be recommending the 3 amigos as I will think of them as that because they made us feel safe. I would also like to say thanks guys for all your help.

This has to be one of the best things we have ever done! From start to finish our dealings with this company were outstanding. The pick up was on time and the actual ride was nothing short of amazing! Our balloon pilot, Bob, and his ground crew were so friendly, informative and helpful! If you do nothing else in your life go ballooning with these guys! Complimentary champagne at the end was a bonus to the exhilarating experience we had! Thankyou so very much Hot Air Balloon Cairns for the great sunrise ride. It is a memory that will stay with us forever!
