What you can expect

Gear up for the ultimate Gold Coast adventure with a hot air balloon flight and a jet boat ride. Whether you do both on the same day or spread them out, the choice is yours.

Your day begins with complimentary transfers from your accommodation early as friendly guides take you to the balloon launch site before dawn. Hop aboard with your expert pilot and float over the countryside, taking in views of the Gold Coast Hinterland and Scenic Rim from above. After your peaceful flight, the fun continues with everyone pitching in to pack up the balloon. Then, it's off to an exclusive boutique vineyard for a hot breakfast and a sparkling wine toast.

When you’re ready for some thrills, it's time to head to the Sea World Marine Precinct for your free Arro Jet Boat ride. Setting off from the high-speed zone in the Broadwater hold on tight as the skilled pilot takes you on an adrenaline-pumping journey with high-speed turns and 360 spins. It's an exhilarating ride you won’t soon forget.
