Balloon Ride · Air Tour
Celebrating 27 years in 2019!

Award-winning company: we won the award for Best Tour Operator in Victoria at the RACV Tourism Awards 2014, 2015 & 2016.

Melbourne is one of the few cities around the world that can be traversed by hot air balloon and definitely one of the best ways to see Australia's second largest city!

Largest ballooning company in Victoria. This means if you have a cancelled flight due to weather we have the most availability to re-book you. We also schedule flights 7 days a week, year-round except for Christmas Day.

We are also a foundation member of the Australian Professional Balloonists Association.

We are an accredited operator with the Victoria Tourism Industry Council and the Australian Tourism Export Council

All Global Ballooning Australia pilots & ground crew have quarterly safety seminars which is more than any other company - these are submitted to Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) to ensure that they are being completed.
