What you can expect

This is the Ultimate Cairns Combo Ticket. Enjoy a stunning Hot Air Balloon flight over the Atherton Tablelands followed by a thrilling jet boat ride on the Cairns waterways. Hot Air Balloon Cairns. Pre-dawn our professional tour guide team will collect you from your accommodation and deliver you to the launch site for you to witness the impressive scene of hot air balloons being inflated. Once the balloon is ready, step into the basket with your experienced pilot; feel the peace and serenity of floating above the rainforest-covered hills, mountains and tablelands set against the stunning backdrop of the rising sun in the sky. Breathe in the fresh air, enjoy sweeping views of the Atherton Tablelands on one side then look towards the coast and Great Barrier Reef - it's the best of both worlds! Our very experienced pilots will slowly guide the balloon down to the landing point, where the fun continues, we all pitch in and fold up the balloon itself, have a laugh and take some more photos. Finally we came together with the pilot and ground crew for a light snack, chat and to toast the sensational flight experience with a glass of sparkling wine. From there our team will deliver you to the Marlin Marina for your next thrilling experience, a 35 minute jet boat ride on the Trinity Inlet. This ride is filled with spins, slides and adrenaline pumping speeds and in between the captain will provide you with some great information on Cairns and the region. The Bad Fishy team will bring you back to Marlin Marina where your two amazing Cairns adventures come to an end.
