What you can expect

Soar above the stunning rainforest-covered hills and capture breathtaking bird’s-eye photos as the sun rises on your peaceful hot air balloon flight. Glide over the lush Atherton Tablelands with an experienced pilot, taking in views you’ll never forget.

Once back on the ground, enjoy a light snack and toast the incredible experience with a glass of sparkling wine or orange juice. After your flight, continue the adventure with a visit to Cairns Aquarium. Explore Australia’s only 10 metre Deep Reef Tank, a 360 degree Oceanarium, an underwater tunnel, mangrove boardwalk, and Australia’s largest freshwater exhibit—an unforgettable day of natural wonders!

Encapsulating the reef and the rainforest, the land and the sea, this package combines two of the best things to do in Cairns.
