About this tour
Launch before dawn from Mansfield in Victoria's foothills for an hour aloft over pastoral valleys and mountain ranges. You'll float quietly above grazing paddocks and eucalypt forest as the sun breaks across the Great Dividing Range, with up to seven others sharing the basket. A 4-hour experience from start to finish, including ground prep and a gentle descent back to base.
Highlights
- Hour-long balloon flight catching sunrise over Victorian highlands
- Views across farmland, forests, and mountain ranges
- Shared basket with maximum eight passengers
- GoPro footage captured during your flight
- Early morning departure to catch first light
What to expect
You'll arrive before sunrise and spend time on the ground as the crew readies the balloon and basket. Once airborne, expect a serene drift over Mansfield's rolling terrain—the quiet is striking after the noise of inflation. The light changes rapidly as the sun rises; bring a camera for wider shots beyond the GoPro footage. The flight lasts roughly an hour. Landing is gentle but firm; you'll help steady the basket on touch-down. Ground-to-sky time totals about 4 hours.
Good to know
Arrange your own transport to the launch site. The experience isn't suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Dress warmly—it's cold at altitude at dawn. The flight is weather-dependent; operators may reschedule if conditions aren't safe.
