Yarra Valley Sunrise Balloon Flight with GoPro Photos

2.Yarra Valley Sunrise Balloon Flight with GoPro Photos

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 506 reviews · from $355Top rated

Meet at Pullman Melbourne on the Park or add pickup from the CBD, then help prepare the balloon before a one-hour flight over the Yarra Valley. Your pilot, possibly Steve, Jake, Harry, or Pato, follows the wind, so the view changes each morning. Add a buffet breakfast at Balgownie Estate.

“My husband and I booked this during our vacation and it was definitely a highlight of our trip!! It was a very early wake up time so may be best to book this at the beginning of your traveling due to jet lag and you will probably wake up early anyways. The staff were very friendly (even when it was super early) and made it an enjoyable experience. The balloon flight had incredible views and was so magical at sunrise. We booked the breakfast option and it was so delicious!!”

Cappadocia: Sunrise Balloon Watching Tour with Photographer

3.Sunrise Balloon Watching Tour with Photographer

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 466 reviews · from $23

You’ll leave your hotel before sunrise with an English-speaking photographer and driver, watch balloons lift off near Rose Valley, then move to Love Valley for fairy-chimney views and a photo session. Eren, Fatih, Esra, and Emre are among the photographers praised for their patience and sharp eye. A hot-air balloon ride is not included.

“Pick up time was respected, the guide (photographer) and driver were very nice. The guide spoke very good English and explained what we do, where we were and what is the next step, how long we drive to the next stop. Pictures taken by the guide were provided to me via Google Drive. Some pictures taken were not good as for examples feet were cut, but in my case, the photographer took so many pictures that at the end I definitely find several good ones :-) In addition we had enough time and could take our own pictures with our cameras. Also we had enough time to observe the balloon…”

“I've done dozens of guided bike tours and Christos was one of the best guides, the way he managed us in traffic, gave us advice, and provided just the right amount of history balanced with seeing all the highlights. And he also managed to take lots of photos of us that he shared with us. He's got this tour nailed! We enjoyed riding along the old moat, around the narrow streets of the UNESCO Citadel old town, along the waterfront where the Colosus of Rhodes may have stood, and up to a spectacular viewpoint overlooking the city and ocean. The e-bikes were good quality and comfortable making that climb effortless.…”
