Why the Best Christmas Gifts Aren’t Things – They’re Memories

Who says gifts have to fit under a tree? This Christmas, give something that’s bigger, brighter, and way more memorable. A hot air balloon flight with Global Ballooning Australia is a gift that literally lifts people off the ground, creating laughter, awe, and lasting memories over Melbourne, the Yarra Valley, and Mansfield.

Give Memories, Not More “Stuff”

Let’s face it, most physical gifts lose their sparkle pretty quickly. But experiences? They stay with us forever. They become stories we tell, photos we treasure, and moments we relive again and again. 

Skip the quick click-and-send gifts and store-bought stand-ins and surprise someone with something they’ll actually remember – a sky-high adventure they’ll talk about for years – watching the sunrise from above Victoria’s iconic vineyards, valleys, and city skylines. 

Why Choose Global Ballooning?

For over 30 years, Global Ballooning Australia has been helping people tick off their bucket lists and see Victoria from a breathtaking perspective. Owned and operated by a fourth-generation aviation family, we’ve shared the skies with more than 150,000 happy passengers – earning thousands of 5-star reviews along the way. 

Led by founder Kiff Saunders, a hot air balloon auditor and trainer who has mentored most of Australia’s commercial balloon pilots, our crew takes safety seriously while ensuring every flight is magical. We also run quarterly CASA-approved safety seminars (Civil Aviation Safety Authority) to maintain the highest standards in the country. 

The Gift That Rises Above the Rest

A hot air balloon flight isn’t something that gets tucked away or forgotten – it’s a gift that becomes a lifelong memory. Whether you’re shopping for a loved one, a couple, or the person who already has everything, this is a present that genuinely stands out. 

And with instant digital vouchers, it’s an easy, last-minute way to make this Christmas truly special. 

Giving an experience instead of a physical gift creates shared joy, leaves a lasting memory, and offers something meaningful that endures long after the holidays. 

Hot Air Ballooning in Victoria: Memories That Inspire

  • Unforgettable moments over Victoria’s iconic landscapes.
