Great hot air balloon trip early morning to watch sunrise. Complimentary pickup and drop off service. Nice breakfast with champagne at the casino hotel.

The pick-up was on time and the explanation was very detailed, which allowed us to know more about Australia's ecological species. Before entering the national park, a red flashlight was given, and there were snacks and juice after the end. It was very attentive 👍 There was also a stargazing activity, which allowed us to see things that cannot be seen in the northern hemisphere. The constellation is very interesting.

Will come again. Don't miss the great rainforest visit and the beautiful rock bridge. Be careful of the stringing plant and don't touch them.

The hop on and hop off bus provides flexibility to our schedule as we can choose which spots to visit and the time. The driver provides good tips on where to eat and has good time management.

Taking a hot air balloon and overlooking the special landforms makes you feel like you are in a fairy tale kingdom, transformed into an elf flying in the sky, wandering in a beautiful fantasy world. The hot air balloon shuttled up and down the valley with the skillful skills of the master. The entire terrain was unobstructed. It was really magnificent! Riding in the hot air balloon overlooked the route we just walked yesterday when the sun rose. The ground below is golden, and the valley is filled with a mysterious and brilliant color.
