This is one kind of life time experience you need to have. Hot air ballooning over Yarra Valley early in the morning to witness sunrise is one of the most unforgettable experience I ever had. Go Wild Ballooning is so expert and their service is super friendly. And don't forget they have good discounts too. They will give you a proper guidance before the flight and after the flight they will offer you a certificate too. And you can engage in pre and after flight to help the crew to make the balloon too. The day I went was not a sunny day so I couldn't witness the sunrise properly. But the view was so worth the money. Don't forget to check their site to grab some amazing deals they have. Witness this life time experience.

Loved the experience and it is nothing short of magical! It was totally mesmerising and would highly recommend to fly with them. Once in a lifetime experience! The flights could be cancelled due to unsuitable weather conditions but they do mention that beforehand.

Meet up and instructions clear by tour guide, flight had spectacular views and landing was very good. Breakfast is average quality, coffee good. Nice grounds to walk afterwards. Plenty of parking on site, nearby chocolate place was good to visit with little one.

We booked this as a part of my husbands 40th birthday celebrations and I’m so glad we did! We were lucky enough to get a beautiful, clear morning and the whole experience was just incredible. Our pilot, Mark was extremely knowledgeable and the ground staff, Storm & Mark, were equally great. An amazing bucket list item - would strongly recommend Go Wild Ballooning to anyone!

While the actual ballooning experience is not bad - there are issues. 1. It’s well too expensive for such an experience ($400 per person? I could book a ticket to a different country for that much) 2. They constantly cancel on you The first time it got cancelled we chalked it up to bad luck. Though we had taken work off to do it, it said on their website they rarely need to cancel so we thought it was just unlucky it happened to be us. The second time, we actually had driven there. We again had to cancel work for the day, we drove an hour to get to the Yarra valley at 5AM, and we get on the bus, only for them to cancel then and there. No complimentary service for the trouble of having to drive there, no offer of a refund. At this point we had been cancelled on twice, waited 2 months since we actually booked it and even driven out there only for it to be cancelled again. We finally actually manage to get a flight - and what can I say, it wasn’t all the impressive. We were on the balloon for about 60 minutes (after getting there and waiting for everything for almost 3 hours), we land and we have to help them pack up. And while I’m not saying it was a bad experience on the actual flight day, $400 per person to stand in a balloon with 15 other strangers? It’s not exactly like it’s thrilling. Overall poor experience - I suggest this company strongly implies it is not ‘rare’ for it to be cancelled. I also suggest they are bit more accomodating if it gets cancelled, especially if we made the trip. Either way even if these weren’t issues I would never pay such a high fee for such a mediocre experience again. Edit - I have updated the review to be slightly more accurate after the owner’s comments. Also in reference to the ‘No show’, as we stated on the day we HAD actually shown up to the place we were told to show up. We stayed there for almost 30 full minutes (this is at the time we were told to show up). I don’t know how to why but we did not see another person show up in this time. In fact we were in the same car park as the day we managed to get the flight. I will take some responsibility on my part for not 1. Staying longer and 2. Looking around more thoroughly to see if we were in the right area. I am not blaming them for this and it was nice they had let us rebook, even if they had cancelled on us twice. I will also mention however, 3 stars is an above average review. I am simply stating that for us, the price did not match the experience and if you expect an experience to ‘rarely’ be cancelled, don’t count on taking days off work for it. Was it a fun day? Sure. Would I ever do it again? Absolutely not. It’s up to you to interpret if this experience is good for you.
