From the romantic, leisurely pace of a hot air balloon, the entire Atherton Tableland can be enjoyed with a bird’s eye view of the rolling downs.
The Cairns region’s hot air ballooning community is based mainly on the Atherton Tableland west of Cairns and up the Kuranda Range. There are also activities to the north around Port Douglas.
Hot air ballooning offers romantic morning and sunrise trips – many a marriage proposal has taken place.
Visitors can also combine a balloon trip with other attractions and tours on the Atherton Tableland, like a Kuranda visit and or a food tour, while in the area.
