Reviews: Gold Coast Hot Air Balloon Sunrise Flight Experience [Includes Taxes & Transfers · Flight Certificate · Flight Photos · Optional 5-Star Hotel Champagne Breakfast · Vineyard Alpaca Experience]
Guest User2025-09-03
The driver and staff were all very humorous and enthusiastic. We flew inland that day and watched the sunrise from a hot air balloon. It was a beautiful and unique experience. The website said there was a flight certificate, but it was not provided. In addition, only photos were provided. Videos were only provided after payment or comments, which was different from what was stated in the booking form.
