What you can expect

Hop on a hot air balloon ride over Cairns before taking to the water in a jet boat on this full-day adventure. After a predawn collection from your accommodation, you will arrive at the landing site to watch the balloons as they inflate. Once the balloon is ready, step into the basket and let your experienced pilot take you to float above the rainforest-covered hills, mountains, and tablelands for sunrise. From this view, you can see from the Atherton Tablelands across to the coast and the Great Barrier Reef. Once landed, enjoy a light snack with a glass of sparkling wine. From there, it's on to your next adventure: a 35-minute jet boat ride on the Trinity Inlet. You will be delivered to the marina where you will take to the water for spins, slides, and adrenaline-pumping speeds. The captain will also provide great information on Cairns and the region between spins.
