DESCRIPTION
Combine and save on this great value Gold Coast hot air balloon flight with breakfast plus a free Sea World whale watching cruise. Tick off two extraordinary Gold Coast tours with one package. Set the alarm clock early as professional tour guides collect you from your hotel and deliver you to the launch site pre-dawn for you to witness the impressive scene of the balloons being inflated.
Snap a picture of the process as they reach a might ten storey height. When ready, step into the basket and float above the countryside with a birds eye view of a breathtaking sunrise. Flying gently above the earth, passengers will be treated to sweeping views of the Gold Coast Hinterland and Scenic Rim. Touching down gently at a boutique vineyard, the fun continues with a delicious hot breakfast and glass of sparkling wine. You may also wish to take part in wine tasting while you are here. The hot air ballooning tour wraps up with a convenient transfer back to your hotel.
Included in this package is a bonus Sea World whale watching cruise from the Gold Coast. Join the marine experts for a close encounter with Humpback Whales aboard one of Australia’s newest and luxurious whale watching vessels. Within minutes of departure, you’ll arrive at the ‘Humpback Highway’ to spy on the world’s largest animals from one of six spacious viewing platforms with a backdrop of the Surfers Paradise Skyline.
