Reviews: Gold Coast sunrise hot air balloon ride with hotel pickup, breakfast, and digital photos included
Guest User2025-11-04
A truly perfect trip! I was initially worried about the weather, but luckily, it was sunny that day.
I rode in a Go Balloning hot air balloon, with the owner himself piloting it.
The sunrise from the clouds was breathtaking; looking down at the forest shrouded in morning mist was like a scene from a movie.
During the approximately one-hour flight, the pilot played music and we danced together – it was so much fun!
The descent was incredibly smooth. I thought it would be like what other bloggers described, where the entire balloon would crash into the ground, but it didn't happen at all!!!
Overall, for a lazy person like me, writing such a long review is absolutely worth it!★

Reviews: Gold Coast Hot Air Balloon Sunrise Flight Experience [Includes Taxes & Transfers · Flight Certificate · Flight Photos · Optional 5-Star Hotel Champagne Breakfast · Vineyard Alpaca Experience]
Guest User2025-09-03
The driver and staff were all very humorous and enthusiastic. We flew inland that day and watched the sunrise from a hot air balloon. It was a beautiful and unique experience. The website said there was a flight certificate, but it was not provided. In addition, only photos were provided. Videos were only provided after payment or comments, which was different from what was stated in the booking form.
