Global Ballooning Australia

About Global Ballooning Australia

Global Ballooning Australia gives you the chance to float silently over some of Victoria’s most beautiful landscapes. Flights take off at sunrise over the Yarra Valley or Melbourne, providing unforgettable views of vineyards, rolling hills, or the city skyline. You’ll watch the balloon being inflated, then enjoy a calm, peaceful ride as the light changes and the scenery stretches out below. Experienced pilots make the whole experience safe and memorable from start to finish.

When to visit

The cooler, drier months bring the best flying conditions with calm winds and clearer skies for longer flights.

Most popular: May - August

Spring · Sep, Oct, Nov

Spring brings crisp mornings and the countryside starts to bloom with fresh colours. Balloon flights are calm and the air is cool, giving you clear views over green vineyards or the city skyline. It’s a great time to combine your flight with a visit to local wineries or cafes.

Summer · Dec, Jan, Feb

Summer mornings are usually still and perfect for ballooning. Flights depart early to avoid the heat of the day. The landscapes are dry and golden and the sky is often bright and cloudless, giving you panoramic views. Be prepared for warmer conditions as the day goes on.

Autumn · Mar, Apr, May

Autumn is considered one of the best times to fly. The vineyards and trees change colour to deep reds and golds. Morning air is cool and stable, which creates perfect conditions for flying. It’s also less busy than spring or summer, giving you a peaceful experience.

Winter · Jun, Jul, Aug

Winter flights happen on cold, crisp mornings with the clearest skies of the year. The air is calm, and you can often see for kilometres. The cooler conditions allow for longer flights and very smooth rides. Dress warmly and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere from above.
