A wonderful trip on a small plane. They picked us up from our hotel and took us to the airfield. 40 minutes over the reefs—an amazing sight.

Reviews: Cairns Hot Air Balloon Sunrise Flight (40-60 minutes) with Optional Hotel Transfers

It was better than I expected! It was my first time to ride a hot air balloon, and the view was truly spectacular. I was glad I participated because I was able to see wild animals like wallabies and horses, and I would definitely participate again if I ever come to Cairns. It was also great that I was able to enjoy myself right up until the last moment before I left! I was grateful that they took me to the airport. A Japanese person was there the whole time, explaining everything to me, so I was able to participate with peace of mind. They also communicated with me via SMS right up until the last moment before the trip, which made things go smoothly on the day. Thank you very much!

Perhaps influenced by the MH370 incident and the kidnapping, there weren't many people going, making my group of four and I the only four people there that day. Whether on the bus, on the boat, or at mealtimes, we felt like we had the place to ourselves.
But the tour guide and boat owner didn't let that stop them from being attentive. The food was even better than the buffet at our five-star hotel.
Because there were so few people, the boat owner even took us to see crocodiles with some locals we knew, letting us touch them, and he diligently helped us find proboscis monkeys, trying to get us as close as possible to see them.
The fireflies at night were truly spectacular, a beauty that words and cameras can't capture. They echoed the stars in the sky, making it hard to tell whether the stars were adorning the trees or the fireflies had taken flight.
