Cairns: Hot Air Balloon Flight & Jet Boat Ride Combo

Begin your adventure with a pre-dawn pickup from your accommodation. Head to the launch site and witness the impressive scene of hot air balloons being inflated. Once the balloon is ready, step into the basket with your experienced pilot.

Feel the peace and serenity of floating above the rainforest-covered hills, mountains, and tablelands set against the stunning backdrop of the rising sun. Breathe in the fresh air and enjoy sweeping views of the Atherton Tablelands on one side, then look towards the coast and Great Barrier Reef.

As you slowly descend, pitch in and help fold up the balloon, have a laugh, and take some more photos. Finally, come together with the pilot and ground crew for a light snack, chat, and toast the sensational flight experience with a glass of sparkling wine.

Next, head to the Marlin Marina for a 35-minute jet boat ride on the Trinity Inlet. Feel the adrenaline rush as you experience spins, slides, and high speeds. In between the thrills, listen to your captain share fascinating information about Cairns and the region.
