Don't miss the chance to go for a hot-air balloon ride over Far North Queensland's Atherton Tablelands - it's one of the top "must do" activities when visiting the tropics. You have the choice of pick-up from Cairns, the Northern beaches or Palm Cove, and you can combine your flight with a rafting adventure or visit to Kuranda.
You'll never forget the wonder, romance and silence of watching the sun rise in Tropical North Queensland during your hot-air balloon flight. Your pilot will point out features of the landscape as you enjoy the sensation of floating with up to a dozen other balloons over the Atherton Tablelands. On landing you can join the fun with the crew as you help deflate and repack the balloon - an exciting team effort!
The basic tour includes a 30-minute scenic flight, a hot cooked breakfast with champagne, and a souvenir flight certificate. You can also take the opportunity to expand the experience and include some of the tropical north's best-known attractions with your scenic flight before returning to your hotel.
- Early-morning 30-minute scenic flight over Far North Queensland's Atherton Tablelands
- Full hot breakfast with champagne
- Free commemorative flight certificate
