Sunrise Hot Air Balloon over Yarra Valley
Melbourne, Australia
About This Activity
Early pick-up from Melbourne brings you to the Yarra Valley launch site in time for a 60-minute sunrise flight drifting above vine rows and mountain ranges. After landing, a champagne and hot breakfast is served at a local winery or estate. Return to Melbourne by mid-morning. The Yarra Valley's bowl topography makes for exceptionally stable and scenic balloon conditions. Tour price typically from A$350-400 per person; book 4-6 weeks ahead.
