Pre-dawn the professional tour guide team will collect you from your accommodation and deliver you to the launch site for you to witness the impressive scene of hot air balloons being inflated.

&nbsp;

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 in the sky. Breathe in the fresh air, enjoy sweeping views of the Atherton Tablelands on one side then look towards the coast and Great Barrier Reef - it&#39;s the best of both worlds!&nbsp;

&nbsp;

The very experienced pilots will slowly guide the balloon down to the landing point, where the fun continues, we all pitch in and fold up the balloon itself, have a laugh and take some more photos.

&nbsp;

Finally we came together with the pilot and ground crew for a light snack, chat and to toast the sensational flight experience with a glass of sparkling wine.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Enjoy a delicious 3 course meal for <a href="https://www.hotair.com.au/blog/redeem-your-lemoncello-voucher">l</a>unch with a drink. Ochre Restaurant offers a unique dining experience that reflects the rich abundance of the region&rsquo;s fresh, seasonal ingredients. Sourcing produce from the Atherton Tablelands, the Cassowary Coast, and the clean, sustainable local fisheries, Ochre is deeply committed to supporting local producers and showcasing the best of the area. The menu highlights native and foraged ingredients, creatively crafted into modern Australian cuisine.

Following lunch you will need to make your own way back to your accommodation
