Hot Air Ballooning

RYDGES  \  HOTELS & LOCATIONS  \  ESPLANADE CAIRNS RESORT  \  LOCAL AREA  \  IN THE AREA  \  HOT AIR BALLOONING

Start your day with the magical sensation of a hot air balloon ride with Australia's most popular hot air balloon operator. Watch the sun rise over the rolling hills of the majestic Atherton Tablelands and enjoy the 360 degree panoramic views. Hot Air Balloon Cairns is highly recommended, excellent value and sure to be a highlight of your Cairns holiday. From the minute you arrive; you’ll see the spectacle at launch of so many large colourful balloons standing ready for take off at dawn. 

The ballooning tour includes return transfers from Rydges Esplanade Resort in air-conditioned comfort. Or, your Hot Air bus driver can drop you off to meet another tour - such as a Great Barrier Reef or Kuranda Rainforest tour. Hot Air ballooning also a great activity to enjoy on the day you depart Rydges Esplanade Resort, as Hot Air can drop you off to the Cairns International Airport for no extra cost (must be pre-booked).
