DESCRIPTION

Victoria’s Best Value Balloon Flight is with Goldrush Ballooning in Mansfield.

Live the romance and adventure of a hot-air balloon flight in the Victorian High Country over the Mansfield district at dawn and experience a glorious sense of freedom and adventure. Once aloft, the views of Mount Buller and surrounding ranges come to life in dramatic 3D with the early morning light.

Mansfield is nestled in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range, an area well-known for its stunning scenery and great ballooning conditions. Surrounded by rolling hills, you will fly gently between the Delatite and Broken Rivers with spectacular views down to the northern reaches of Lake Eildon, Mt Timbertop, Mt Buller, and the Great Dividing Range.

The Goldrush Ballooning Mansfield Flight package includes:

o Spectacular one-hour sunrise balloon flight

o Hosting by our expert team, who keep you informed throughout

o In-flight photography

o A full passenger safety briefing before take-off

o 3-year validity on all Gift Certificates & Flight Bookings

o Prosecco Breakfast at Mansfield Coffee Merchant – optional and highly recommended

o Easy parking at our meeting point in Mansfield

o Northeast Victoria’s most experienced pilots

Why do we recommend ballooning in Mansfield?

Our Mansfield flying area is beautiful. We fly the natural basin between the Delatite and Broken Rivers nestled within the High Country’s mountain ranges. You get great views across to Mt Buller and Mt Timbertop to name a few and glimpses of Lake Eildon.

Schedule and Flight

Meet us before first light at Mansfield Coffee Merchant to fly in perfect conditions around sunrise. Your expert crew will provide you with informative details throughout and invite you to participate in the inflation and deflation process if you wish. 

There is a short drive to the launch field, where it takes about thirty minutes to inflate your balloon, and once ready, you’ll be invited to climb aboard. We give a full passenger safety briefing before take-off, and the experience is safe, friendly, and professional. The ground crew follows and meets the balloon at its landing. The balloon is quickly packed at the landing, and your crew will drive you back to Mansfield Coffee Merchant. The complete activity lasts between 3 and 4 hours and is suitable for ages 6 to 96.

Breakfast

After the flight, we complete your experience with a delicious Prosecco Breakfast (optional and highly recommended) back at Mansfield Coffee Merchant, a local institution that is deliciously up with the best cafes Melbourne has to offer.

Meeting Details

The meeting time varies with the sunrise time throughout the year and is usually around 30 minutes before first light. On the morning of your flight, we meet at Mansfield Coffee Merchant, 23 Highett Street, Mansfield, Victoria 3722, just up from the Delatite Hotel. Your Duty Pilot will call between 6 – 7 pm the night before to confirm arrangements for the morning. All these details will be sent in your flight booking confirmation email.
