Melbourne by Balloon
Unforgettable!

As you float like a bird and look down from on high you really do see why Melbourne is such a sensational place to live and work.
The magnificent parks and gardens, the spectacular skyline in the dawn, the Arts Centre spire, the challenge of Federation Square, the bulk of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the peaceful green of the Botanic Gardens, the hum of the rush hour traffic and through the middle of everything the Yarra River, winding its way from the leafy suburbs out past the industrious harbour and Westgate bridge to the shining waters of Port Phillip Bay.

Everything is recognisable but yet everything is different. Even your own back yard is transformed from above and charged with the romance of hot air balloons. Who would believe that a simple wicker basket, the whoosh of the hot air burners and 200 years of history could weave such a spell on you.

Then the excitement of landing. The preparations under the expert guidance of your experienced pilot, the anticipation, the uncertainty - which of those parks is our landing spot today? A gentle touch down and you are safely back on ground - and ready to celebrate with the best gourmet champagne breakfast in Melbourne .

Even helping to pack the balloon and gear away is fun - and it gives you an appetite for your delicious breakfast.

Your fabulous breakfast that awaits you is conducted in the absolute luxury of the Langham Hotel – Melbourne

The 5 star deluxe rated Langham Hotel has undoubtedly Melbourne's most enviable location on the banks of the famous Yarra River. It has an established reputation as one of Melbourne's and Australia's finest hotels. Today, Southbank is one of the cities most exclusive areas and it is here that the Langham Hotel Melbourne is situated amid a variety of al fresco cafes, lively restaurants, bars and boutiques, yet still a short stroll from the much acclaimed Federation Square, the Arts Centre and the Botanical Gardens.
