Cairns Air Tours, Ballooning Packages, Cairns Ballooning Tour with Skyrail & Kuranda Scenic Train

Your balloon gently floats above the tips of blue gums and paper bark trees, with the wide open spaces of the Tablelands below with fantastic 360 degree views. Your Hot Air pilot is very experienced and trained to Australia's highest standards, so enjoy the freedom of balloon flying while he looks after your safe and gentle ride. Keep an eye out for kangaroos and some of our unique local wildlife as you go. Binoculars are on board to capture sightings of local birdlife too. Come back to earth gently then continue the fun by helping us to pack up the balloon.
