3a. Greater Brisbane Scenic Hot Air Balloon Flight Package - 1 Hour Flight, Breakfast ADD Brisbane CBD transfers

Picture yourself in the balloon basket floating majestically and effortlessly over patchwork country and city landscapes, admiring a breathtaking view gently unfolding as dawn breaks. The magic and romance of flying in a hot air balloon can be easily experienced with our most popular balloon package.  

From the air you will soak in a bird’s eye views of the heritage city of Ipswich, Great Dividing Range mountains, Brisbane city skyline, Scenic Rim and Somerset countryside. We are proud to offer this unique opportunity to take in panoramic city and country sights.

Floating Images is the closest hot air balloon company to Brisbane and the longest founding owner-operator in the South East Queensland region. Every flight is taken by owner and Chief pilot Graeme Day, who has 30+ years of ballooning experience and loves to share his passion for ballooning. Graeme’s deep knowledge of the local region after flying here for 20+ years, humour and storytelling make his in-flight commentary both informative and entertaining

At this stage we are currently not able to provide the Brisbane Transfers component of our ballooning program. 

As outlined in our tour details above, we are still providing the enjoyable & scenic boutique ballooning experience, 1 hour flight, with or with breakfast, but self-drive only to our meeting point.

As accommodation transfers from Brisbane are at an additional cost anyway to you when booking our ballooning flight tours (if available $75 pp, min 2 people=$150 additional cost) we advise our customers to either self-drive to the meeting point via own car, rental car, taxi, or rideshare Uber, DiDi, etc. We are happy to drop you off at the train station if you wish to return by train to Brisbane. Alternatively you may wish to book to stay locally in Ipswich, closer to the meeting point using the accommodation links provided on our website.

We currently meet all our passengers for the ballooning experience at the Ipswich Visitor Information Centre; just 30 minutes’ drive west of Brisbane CBD/ Central.  We host our after flight restaurant breakfast at Fourth Child Restaurant – 5 minutes up the road – where passengers indulge in hot cooked breakfast (choice of 4), glass of bubblies and a personalised commemorative flight certificate presented.
