Schedule and Flight

Meet us before first light at Mansfield Coffee Merchant to fly in the perfect conditions around sunrise. Your expert crew will provide you with informative details throughout, and invite you to be involved 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. At the landing, the balloon is quickly packed, 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 & highly recommended) back at Mansfield Coffee Merchant, a local institution deliciously up with the best cafes Melbourne has to offer.
