Take Flight Before the Race
Start your Grand Prix weekend with an unforgettable hot air balloon flight over Melbourne’s breathtaking skyline. As you gently rise above the city, you’ll witness the first golden rays of sunrise illuminating landmarks like the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Rod Laver Arena, and the iconic Albert Park Circuit. The peaceful silence of the early morning sky offers a stark yet beautiful contrast to the high-speed action that will soon take over the city.
Drifting effortlessly, you’ll capture a bird’s-eye view of the Grand Prix circuit, watching as Melbourne comes to life beneath you. The Yarra River sparkles in the morning light, and the city’s energy begins to build as race fans wake up, ready for an action-packed day ahead.
After your serene flight, celebrate with a post-flight breakfast: the perfect way to fuel up for the excitement ahead. Then, make your way to the Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit, where the adrenaline rush of the race awaits.
This unique experience allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds – the calm serenity of floating over Melbourne at sunrise and the electrifying atmosphere of Formula 1 racing.
