About this tour
Launch into the Yarra Valley sky at dawn for an hour aloft, drifting with the wind as your pilot reads the air and picks the landing zone. Liberty Balloon Flights operates Victoria's most respected fleet, sending you up daily when conditions allow. The full outing runs three to five hours and wraps with continental breakfast at Rochford Wines back on solid ground.

- Expert pilot navigation through wind layers for smooth flight
- One-hour airtime with optimal landing spot selection
- Continental breakfast at Rochford Wines included
- Suitable from age six upwards
- Optional pre-booked shuttle from Melbourne CBD available
What to expect
You'll meet early—before dawn if catching the shuttle from the city—and head to the launch site. The crew inflates the balloon while you watch, then you board the basket for a steady climb as the valley spreads below. Expect wind drift rather than a guided tour; your pilot reads air currents to keep the flight smooth and pick where you'll touch down. An hour aloft covers distance and altitude, with views shifting constantly. Back on the ground, you'll debrief over breakfast before heading home.
Good to know
Book shuttle transport from Melbourne CBD in advance if needed. Travellers over 130kg should ring ahead to confirm booking. Pregnancy not recommended. Dress warmly—altitude cools the air despite the early hour. All ages six and above welcome.
