About this experience
Your professional tour guides will deliver you to the launch site pre-dawn for you to witness the impressive scene of balloons being inflated. When the balloon is ready, step into the basket with your experienced pilot; feel the peace and serenity of floating above the countryside, see the rolling hills and open fields, set against the stunning backdrop of the rising sun. There is nothing in the world like the feeling of floating gently above the earth. Breathe in the fresh air, enjoy sweeping views of the famous Gold Coast Hinterland and Scenic Rim on one side then look towards the coast to see the skyline dotted with towering buildings - it's the best of both worlds! Your very experienced pilots will slowly guide the balloon down to the landing point, where the fun continues, we all pitch in and fold up the balloon itself, have a laugh and take some more photos. Finally we head to for a delicious hot breakfast, continental buffet beachside view

Hot ballooning was fun
We had a great time the pilot and the bus driver were both fantastic!
Response from the operator: Great to hear you had such a fun morning 🎈 A fantastic pilot and driver really do make the whole experience that much more memorable. Thanks for joining us in the Gold Coast hinterland!

Amazing!
Amazing! Absolutely worth the 3am alarm clock. The whole experience was fantastic, from being collected at my doorstep in a modern, comfortable bus, to the brilliant hosts Selena and Wayne, and our pilot Dhawal, who made the entire experience feel uplifting and very safe - with plenty of laughs along the way. The takeoff and flight over the Scenic Rim were spectacular, followed by a smooth landing and a fun experience helping the team pack up the balloon. We then enjoyed an old-school country trailer ride through the paddocks back to the bus, complete with champagne, before finishing with a beautiful buffet breakfast at Akoya Restaurant within The Langham. An absolutely brilliant morning from start to finish. I’d definitely do it again! Thank you! 🎈🥂
Response from the operator: Thanks so much! 🎈 We’re thrilled the early start was well worth it. Selena, Wayne and Dhawal will love hearing your kind words - especially knowing you felt safe, relaxed and had plenty of laughs along the way! So glad you enjoyed the spectacular Scenic Rim flight, bubbles and breakfast at Akoya Restaurant 🥂✨ We’d love to welcome you back again!

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Gold Coast Ballooning with 5 Star Breakfast: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gold Coast.
How much does Gold Coast Ballooning with 5 Star Breakfast cost?
+
Prices start at $286 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Gold Coast usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Gold Coast Ballooning with 5 Star Breakfast take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Gold Coast is not rushed.
Is Gold Coast Ballooning with 5 Star Breakfast worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Gold Coast, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Gold Coast Ballooning with 5 Star Breakfast?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Gold Coast Ballooning with 5 Star Breakfast suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Gold Coast Ballooning with 5 Star Breakfast?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Gold Coast can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Gold Coast and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Gold Coast Ballooning with 5 Star Breakfast start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Gold Coast within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Gold Coast?
+
On Outty we rank every Gold Coast experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2 Hour Ultimate Learn to Surf Adventure, Gold Coast Whale Watching Cruise, Mount Tamborine Wine Tasting Tour from Brisbane or the Gold Coast. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Gold Coast?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Gold Coast?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
