Take a hot air balloon ride to thrilling heights during an exhilarating sunrise flight, and enjoy the magnificent views of the Gold Coast.
As the new day dawns with sunshine, the hot air balloon ride takes off, drifting with the breeze over the Gold Coast and its surrounding hinterland.
The hot air balloon ride on the Gold Coast is truly unique, featuring a "walk-in basket" for easy passenger access and a 4WD off-road vehicle to ensure a seamless transition at the end of your flight.
Step aboard the hot air balloon ride and be amazed by the breathtaking views of the golden coastline and lush rainforests. The natural beauty of the Gold Coast will surely leave you in awe.
After the hot air balloon deflates, you can witness firsthand how the dedicated crane automatically packs up the balloon without passenger assistance, saving you approximately 30 minutes.
The Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort offers a five-star breakfast experience, so set your alarm early—it's definitely worth waking up for!
