Reviews
"Booked a balloon flight with them on the 25/6 and was cancelled by the operator. Re-booked for another flight on the 20/8 only to have them cancel it again. Luckily (or so I thought) I had paid extra for a refundable ticket, however they are now moving the goalposts and are refusing to refund the cost. My partner and I are going overseas and cannot take another weekend off the go fly. This is so unethical, please book elsewhere for your ballooning adventures!"
"Amazing flight over the Yarra Valley. So quiet, peaceful and smooth. Excellent job by Harry, Mia, and Storm"
"Celebrating my wife's birthday with a surprise Hot Air Balloon trip with Go wild Ballooning this morning.Thoroughly enjoyed it. Professional service and never felt unsafe. Highly recommended"
"Went ballooning for the first time over the Yarra Valley, it was cold and foggy but thoroughly enjoyable. Got so many incredible photos that I will treasure forever. The pilot and driver were lovely. Next time I'd like to do summer for a completely different experience and to see more of the landscape."
