Take to the skies

Take in some of the most spectacular scenery on the planet with a bird’seye view.

A hot air balloon experience in Queensland rates highly on most visitors’ bucket lists, and with good reason. Imagine taking off in darkness, then seeing the sun rise as you glide peacefully over the lush rainforests of the Tropical North or the hinterlands of Brisbane and the Gold Coast. The silence, the views, the sense of freedom and serenity with just the birds and the clouds for company all adds up to one soul-stirring experience.

Whether you know your way around a parachute or you’ve never jumped before, Queensland is packed with incredible locations for adventure-seekers to get an adrenaline-pumping skydiving fix. Whether you choose to hurtle through the skies above turquoise waters and fringing reef, ancient rainforest or iconic beaches and city skylines, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing a panorama.

For those looking to really take things to the next level, there’s no shortage of luxury helicopter experiences and scenic flights in Queensland. From flitting between vineyards on a unique winery tour, enjoying an unforgettable picnic on a secluded sand cay, and reeling in a marlin on a private trip to Cape York, explore even the most remote corners of the state in comfort and style.
