You'll fly for approximately one hour over the City of Melbourne, completing the experience with a buffet champagne breakfast at the Hilton on the Park.

We meet at the Hilton on the Park Hotel half an hour before sunrise (you will be advised of the exact time on your confirmation sheet). Your pilot will give you a short briefing. You will then be transported to the launch site where you may help with the launch, or stand back and take pictures. Then away we go, floating gently over the city of Melbourne in our beautiful balloon.

Your flight will last for approximately one hour. After we make our final landing and pack the balloon away, we head back to the HILTON ON THE PARK where you can celebrate your morning over breakfast.

What to wear and what to bring

Wear clothes as for hiking, including sturdy shoes, warm socks and a cap, plus sunglasses if you wish.

• • We meet before sunrise so depending on the time of year and weather, it can be extremely cold
• • Generally it will not be any colder in the air during the flight than on the ground, so wear layered clothing that can be removed as the day warms up

• • High-heeled shoes are not suitable
• • DON'T FORGET TO BRING YOUR CAMERA AND LOTS OF FILM
