Reviews: Gold Coast sunrise hot air balloon ride with hotel pickup, breakfast, and digital photos included
Guest User2025-11-04
A truly perfect trip! I was initially worried about the weather, but luckily, it was sunny that day.
I rode in a Go Balloning hot air balloon, with the owner himself piloting it.
The sunrise from the clouds was breathtaking; looking down at the forest shrouded in morning mist was like a scene from a movie.
During the approximately one-hour flight, the pilot played music and we danced together – it was so much fun!
The descent was incredibly smooth. I thought it would be like what other bloggers described, where the entire balloon would crash into the ground, but it didn't happen at all!!!
Overall, for a lazy person like me, writing such a long review is absolutely worth it!★
