Yarra Valley Sunrise Balloon Flight over the Vineyards, with GoPro Photos
Ratings collected by Viator and Tripadvisor
MelbourneGlobal Ballooning Australia has flown here for more than 30 years and calls itself the country's number one operator. Its pilots live in the Yarra Valley, which counts for more than it sounds: reading valley wind is a local skill, and the valley makes its own.
The balloon lifts with the sun over rolling hills, farmland, winding rivers and towns that date back to the 1830s. Vineyards are most of what passes underneath, this being one of the wine regions Australia is known for.
GoPro photos are included.
The cancellation terms are stricter than the rest of this catalogue: a full refund only six days out, half between two and six days, nothing inside two.

Balgownie Estate, launch and landing
The day starts at Balgownie Estate. CBD pick-up applies only to the transfer options. A Global Ballooning bus takes the group to the launch site, where passengers can help set up the balloon. The flight lasts about 1 hour over the Yarra Valley, with vineyards and rolling hills below. It is subject to weather. After landing, passengers can help pack down the balloon, then return to Balgownie Estate. Breakfast is served on the options that include it, and the flight photos are shared through the Global Ballooning app for download. A balloon magnet is a keepsake of the flight.
