cairns adrenaline activities: hot air ballooning cairns
Have you always wanted to go up in a hot air balloon? Cairns Hot Air Ballooning takes you over the beautiful Atherton Tablelands where you have the opportunity to sneak up on grazing kangaroos, wallabies and other wildlife in their natural habitat, even unsuspecting people coming out of their house in their pyjamas to collect the newspaper. Glide over all the beautiful farmlands aptly named the Tablelands as this is the ultimate region for growing tropical fruits, vegetables and macadamia nuts.
After your early morning start you arrive to witness the wind direction testing and the balloons being filled with air and get to listen in on the intriguing history of balloon travel. These balloons are some of the largest in the southern hemisphere and will ensure your morning is one to remember. Witness the peace and serenity as the sun rises and the world starts to wake.
You have the option of a half hour flight or a one hour flight. With the half hour flight you will also experience a cross–country balloon chase as the balloon almost always lands in a different spot! This is great fun for all of the family.
The pilots are very informative and trained to Australia’s highest standards. You also get the use of binoculars in flight to take advantage of the 360° views.
Once your journey is over you glide safely back to land in a farmers paddock and you get to help with the packing of the balloon to earn your 5 star breakfast that awaits you: bacon, eggs, sausages, fruit, toast, juice, champagne, tea and coffee and of course some vegetarian offerings for you from the Tablelands.
Here you are presented with your flight certificate, and have an opportunity to purchase some fun in–flight photos from the world’s only roaming photographer service to capture those special moments of your family and friends to cherish forever. Return to your hotel or next tour at approx 10.30am.

The Tour Specialists Consultants Tip:
YsanneEnsure that you get a good night’s sleep as the pickup is around 4.30am! A great idea is to combine this early start with an Outer Barrier Reef trip to awaken your senses or a cool day up in Kuranda on the Skyrail.
