The highlight was watching a mob of Kangaroos skipping along below us. Such a happy feeling seeing them in their natural habitat like that. The breakfast after the ballooning was a decent meal.

Gold Coast: Hot Air Balloon Flight and Vineyard Breakfast

5.Hot Air Balloon Flight and Vineyard Breakfast

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 24 reviews · from $327

Start before dawn with hotel pickup, watch a balloon rise above the Gold Coast Hinterland, and spend the flight over hills, fields, and the distant coast. Pilot Dhawal and guide Rob lead the morning, followed by a hot breakfast, sparkling wine, photos, and a certificate at O’Reillys vineyard.

“Only the winery section was average. It turned out that the countryside was boring and nothing special. You can take pictures and the breakfast is considered high-end. In addition, the marketing of Cao Nima is very interesting and it is an extra charge. Others are very good, very good, especially Richard. He is very serious about panoramic photography and production.”
