Experience the fun &amp; unique sensation of being in a hot air balloon&nbsp;flying gently high above the Atherton Tablelands, Australia. The balloon takes off from Mareeba&nbsp;on the Atherton Tablelands.&nbsp; Enjoy the picturesque landscape at dawn,&nbsp; floating in your Hot Air Balloon, time to really breathe in the wide-open spaces!&nbsp; We have Australia&#39;s largest fleet of Hot Air Balloons and a fun and highly trained crew to maximise the enjoyment of your balloon flight.&nbsp; It&#39;s just like a balloon festival, every day!

&nbsp;

After your hot air balloon adventure, join us for a post-flight gathering where we celebrate with a selection of locally-sourced treats. Indulge in fresh fruits, energizing muesli bars, delicious muffins, and an assortment of savory pastries and quiche. Complement your experience with our thoughtfully chosen sparkling wine or refreshing orange juice. It&#39;s a perfect opportunity to connect with fellow adventurers, our pilot, and support crew, sharing stories and forging new friendships. Please be aware that our offerings may vary to ensure we always serve the finest local produce available.

&nbsp;

The tour finish time varies with the seasons (summer, winter and the time of sunrise).&nbsp; After the flight you will be dropped off at&nbsp;Cairns Aquarium to See Australia&rsquo;s only 10-meter Deep Reef Tank, 360-degree Oceanarium, 20-meter underwater tunnel, mangrove boardwalk, and Australia&rsquo;s largest freshwater exhibit.

Transfer back to your accommodation after the aquarium visit is not included and you will need to make your own way home from Cairns Aquarium

Cairns Aquarium is open daily from 10am - 3pm with last admission at 2pm
