Live the romance and adventure of a hot-air balloon flight in the Victorian High Country over the Mansfield district at dawn, and experience a glorious sense of freedom and adventure.
Once aloft the mountain views come to life in dramatic 3D with the early morning light.
Mansfield is nestled in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range, an area well-known for its stunning scenery and great ballooning conditions. Surrounded by rolling hills you will fly gently between the Delatite and Broken Rivers with spectacular views down to the northern reaches of Lake Eildon, Mt Timbertop, Mt Buller, and the Great Dividing Range.
We give a full passenger safety briefing before take-off and the experience is safe, friendly, and professional. The ground crew follows and meets the balloon at its landing.
At the landing, the balloon is quickly packed, and your crew will drive you back to Mansfield Coffee Merchant. The complete activity lasts between 3 and 4 hours and is suitable for ages 6 to 96.
Meeting Details
The meeting time varies with the sunrise time throughout the year and is usually around 30 minutes before first light. On the morning of your flight, we meet at Mansfield Coffee Merchant, 23 Highett Street, Mansfield, Victoria 3722, just up from the Delatite Hotel. Your Duty Pilot will call between 6 - 7 pm the night before to confirm arrangements for the morning. All these details will be sent to you in your flight booking confirmation email.

Your voucher(s) and booking information will be included in the confirmation email you will receive shortly after purchasing the experience on Amazed.com.

5 months agoGot to go and experience this. The crew were amazing and so was the adventure. Going again this time in the King Valley then the canola triangle. Anyone can do it.

2 weeks agoThank you Goldrush ballooning for an amazing flight. Professionally ran we could have asked for a better experience and a special way for our daughter to start her 18th birthday celebrations. Many thanks Greg, Carissa and family.

2 years agoHighly recommend gold rush ballooning. The staff were super friendly and the entire experience was very well managed from start to finish. They have a pretty cool camera rig set up so you get a cool shot of the group in the balloon. I took my partner as a surprise for her birthday, she loved it. It's a very early start but highly worth it. Bring sunglasses! My only regret.
