Dear Hot Air team -Thank you so much for your our Sunday morning balloon trip with our group from Adelaide. What an experience we had! it is so worth getting up at 4.00am and that it what it is all about when taking agents away, to get them to experience all this for themselves!! All the group were blown away with your operation and loved the photo's, they will be a huge hit with their customers back home! Thanks again for a truly memorable experience and one which ended our weekend on a 'high' note!!

Yes, 3 generations of B. came ballooning with your team and they loved it. We didnt realise you could do ballooning in the tropics but so glad we found out - our last balloon flight in NSW cost double what you charge and wasnt nearly as much fun. Watch out now for the rest of the family, they're definitely coming flying with you

I wanted to thank you for the opportunity to balloon over the Mareeba valley... what an amazing experience ! Seeing the fields of bananas, mangoes, sugar cane, and pineapples, as well as the kangaroos, during our sunrise flight was an unforgettable addition to our trip. Our pilot, Shane, did a masterful job flying, and , providing commentary on what we saw below. Also, thanks for a delicious brekkie in Port Douglas. What a brilliant way to start the day! Thank you again for providing such a very special memory of our trip.

My wife and I took a 30 mins flight during our honeymoon. The whole idea of being swept away by the air, the beautiful sunrise with kangaroos in the background, sweeping views of the farmlands meeting the sky were absolutely terrific. The entire tour was very interactive with us all of getting involved in unpacking the balloon to putting it in the air to repacking it. A must-do tour.

A lovely morning, we felt your staff and team were extremely friendly and such fun. We have tried a few times to go ballooning here at home but it never seemed to happen, your Australian weather is obviously well suited to ballooning. Cheers.

Just wanted to say that we had the pleasure of doing a balloon ride with you in Mareeba on 4 December and wanted to write to say that it was probably the best organised trip I have been on. Everything went like clockwork - you picked us up on time and dropped us off (at the Clarion Beach resort) on time which is something we are not used to back in England. Special thanks to Rob, Shane (the pilot) and Simon who drove us there and back. Packing away the balloon was as enjoyable as the ride itself and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to anyone at all. Thanks for an excellent trip! Best wishes Graham

We were undecided on doing the flight but so pleased we did. Our only regret was our tour got to the start to late and we did not see the balloons being inflated. The trip was breath taking and the fun at the end helping to pack the balloons away made it alot of fun. Loved the breakfast to finish and cant wait to get our photos of this trip.

We had a flight with Hot Air on the 29th June 2003. It was one of the best days ever, and as it was our honeymoon, it was really special. Everything was just great including the fantastic breakfast at Tjapukai, to the markets at Kuranda, and also the Skyrail trip down the mountain. We couldn't have asked for a better day, and all of your staff were great. We also received our photos a couple of days ago, and they are a great reminder of the fun we had. A big thank you for the best day!!!

Thanks for an amazing morning !!! David and I (and another girl from our QF crew) DID get up early to go ballooning last Monday and I can honestly say it was one of the big highlights of my career! We'll talk all of our crew and passengers into Cairns to go on a trip with HOT-AIR.

"My husband and I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our ballooning with you on Tuesday morning and we also wanted to point out what a multi-talented crew you have. On our drive up the mountain, just before dawn, our driver, Rob, noticed a young grey mare wandering on the opposite road, obviously lost. Rob, kindly asked all of us in the bus, if we minded stopping for a few minutes and then he went out onto the road and whispered in her left ear and lead her off the road and into a paddock nearby. We all gave him a round of applause on his return but I just thought you might like to know, that your drivers are not only friendly but skilled horse whisperers too! You Aussies are certainly a versatile bunch. Thanks again, we always said we wanted to go ballooning one day and this has made our Australian holiday, very special."
