Finding the right present that shows your favourite people just how special they are can be tricky. No need to make a list and check it twice when we’ve got the perfect idea already. This Christmas, gift a once-in-a-lifetime sunrise hot air balloon flight with Global Ballooning Australia.
The award-winning operator has been floating Melburnians sky-high since 1992, so your loved ones are in the safest hands imaginable. Choose between drifting over the Yarra Valley, just a 50 minute drive from Melbourne’s city centre, or take flight over Melbourne itself. It's the only major city in the world where you can balloon directly above the city centre.
Global Ballooning is spreading festive cheer with limited-time Christmas offers – you can save up to $75 if you book before 26 December. Each experience includes complimentary in-flight GoPro photos, a digital flight certificate, a luxe balloon magnet keepsake, and complete flight and ground insurance. Optional add-ons include a buffet breakfast and return transfers from Pullman on the Park Hotel for Yarra Valley flights.
And here’s the cherry on top: when you purchase a Christmas hot air balloon gift voucher, your lucky recipient will also receive a pair of premium, limited-edition Global Ballooning sunglasses (valued at $80) – beautifully wrapped and ready for under the tree.
Global Ballooning is a fourth-generation, family-owned company and Victoria’s only carbon-neutral operator. It's Australia’s most awarded ballooning company, including TripAdvisor’s number one 'Sights & Landmarks Tour' and a three-time Victorian Tourism Awards gold winner. The entire experience runs for about three to four hours, kicking off roughly 90 minutes before sunrise.
So, skip the socks and scented candles this Christmas and give a gift that literally rises above the rest. Visit Global Ballooning's website to purchase your Christmas gift voucher and make someone’s morning magic.
