What to expect
You'll be collected from your Bendigo CBD hotel early, well before dawn. The balloon inflates on-site and you'll climb aboard for a gentle, quiet ascent as the sun rises. The flight itself is serene—no engine noise, just wind and occasionally the burner. You'll see the city's layout, parks, and heritage buildings from a perspective most never get. After landing and a brief debrief, you're driven to Quality Hotel Lakeside's restaurant where a hot spread awaits alongside champagne. The whole outing is unhurried.
Good to know
Weather can cancel flights with short notice; check forecasts the night before. Bring layers—it's cooler aloft. Not suitable for pregnant travellers or those with spinal injuries. Any fitness level works, though you'll need reasonable mobility to board the basket.
