Book Direct with the Owner at Balloon Down Under with Accommodation Noosa in Carrara, for all your Attraction and travel needs.
We are the Gold Coast’s and Queensland’s longest operating balloon business and one of the oldest in Australia.
We fly over the Gold Coast area for a wonderful 1 hour balloon flight every morning at sunrise – weather permitting.
Your Balloon Down Under Experience begins just before sunrise. Ballooning everywhere in Australia is always an early morning activity, because that is when the winds are at their most gentle.
Once aboard the wicker basket your magical flight begins. The launch is so gentle you will not even realise that you have left the ground. The peace and gentleness of ballooning will surprise you and the views are outstanding. Your pilot will point out all the Gold Coast landmarks and places of interest as the flight proceeds. Drifting gently over the Gold Coast landscape for one hour allows you ample time to take in the panoramic views of the Gold Coast from skimming over the tree tops to up to 2,000 feet high. Your pilot will point out all the points of interest and the landmarks seen from the balloon as he steers the balloon to its landing site. Steering the balloon is achieved by the pilot changing height, so as to use the varying wind speeda and direction found at varying heights. Your pilot can rotate the balloon during the flight so that everyone gets to see all the views.
