What to expect
You'll be collected early and taken to the launch site, where the crew inflates the balloon whilst you watch the process. Once airborne, expect roughly an hour aloft, floating silently at varying altitudes to catch different perspectives of Bendigo and its surrounds. The sensation is remarkably gentle—no engine noise, just wind and the occasional burner flame. Visibility permitting, you'll see heritage quarters, parks, and bushland rolling out beneath you. After touchdown, the team organises a celebration breakfast with champagne on the ground, where you can decompress and swap observations with fellow passengers.
Good to know
Early starts are essential for sunrise flights—bring layers as it's cool at altitude. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries or are pregnant. All fitness levels welcome; the basket landing is gentle. Public transport runs nearby the departure point. Professional footage and stills are yours to keep.
