From
Picture yourself in the balloon basket floating majestically and effortlessly
over patchwork country and city landscapes, admiring a breathtaking view
gently unfolding as dawn breaks. The magic and romance of flying in a hot air
balloon can be easily experienced with our most popular balloon package.
From the air you will soak in a bird’s eye views of the heritage city of
Ipswich, Great Dividing Range mountains, Brisbane city skyline, Scenic Rim and
Somerset countryside. We are proud to offer this unique opportunity to take in
panoramic city and country sights.
Floating Images is the closest hot air balloon company to Brisbane and the
longest founding owner-operator in the South East Queensland region. Every

ballooning experience and loves to share his passion for ballooning. Graeme’s
deep knowledge of the local region after flying here for 20+ years, humour and
storytelling make his in-flight commentary both informative and entertaining.

reached by train or bus.
