Enjoy a unique experience and see the beauty of Australia like you've never seen it before with this Cairns hot air balloon ride. You'll remember this moment forever!
Tour Details
Early in the morning, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Cairns. From there, we'll take you to a clearing where the hot air balloon will be waiting for the ride. The ride will take approximately one hour.
When we arrive at our destination, we'll witness the balloons being inflated and then climb into the basket to begin this exciting aerial adventure.
Gradually, we'll begin to soar into the sky as we watch the sun peek over the horizon, it will be a completely magical moment!
From a bird's eye view, we'll have the opportunity to enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Atherton Plateau and its imposing mountains surrounded by jungle. Get your cameras ready! You'll want to immortalise this moment.
After around 40 minutes of flying over the Cairns area, we'll descend with the balloon and take you back to your hotel.
Hot Air Balloon + Funicular and Panoramic Train Ride
If you want an even more complete experience, we recommend booking this option, which includes a funicular and panoramic train ride.
In this case, after the balloon ride, we'll head to the Skyrail station. From there, we'll board a funicular that will take us high above the rainforest, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Cairns and the Kuranda Ranges—an unforgettable journey through the treetops!
Afterwards, we'll take a walk through the forest and go to the second funicular at the Red Peak stop. We'll then reach the Barron Falls station, where we can visit the interpretation centre.
We'll continue our journey to the town of Kuranda and its markets. There, you'll have free time to explore this small town, where we recommend visiting the Butterfly Sanctuary, the Venom Zoo or take a boat ride on the Kuranda River—the choice is yours!
Next, it will be time to take the panoramic train, travelling along the mining railway line down the Macalistar Range. During the 1.5-hour journey, we'll see Barron Falls and pass over the many bridges that wind between the mountains and waterfalls. Cameras at the ready?
Finally, we'll get off the train at Cairns Central Station, and we'll bid farewell at this point after a total of 12 hours.
