There is nothing quite like floating high above terra firma at dawn, enjoying a glass of champagne and seeing the sun rise over the horizon. That scenario is offered by Go Wild Ballooning, one of the main operators of hot air balloons in the Yarra Valley. There is a range of crafts available, the largest holding 16 people. The norm is to take groups of approximately ten people for a one-hour sunrise float, starting from somewhere in the Yarra Valley (depending on the wind conditions). This concludes with a champagne breakfast. Admission: From AUD220 per person (including breakfast). Discounts available for children and groups.
