Queensland Country Tours

Experience Queensland Country from the most breathtaking perspective possible — drifting silently above the Somerset and Brisbane Valley regions in a hot air balloon at sunrise.

As the first light breaks over inland Queensland, your journey begins in Ipswich before you rise gently into the sky. Below you, the landscape slowly awakens — rolling farmland, winding river systems, bushland, and open valleys stretching towards the horizon. Shaped entirely by the wind, each flight is unique, revealing a different path across the countryside each morning.

Floating above the Somerset and Brisbane Valley regions, you experience Queensland Country in its purest form — wide, quiet, and expansive. It is a perspective few ever see, where the stillness of
early morning is broken only by the sound of the burner and the changing light of the rising sun.

From here, Queensland Country becomes part of a wider journey.

After landing, many guests continue exploring the region at ground level, discovering the natural and cultural character of inland Queensland. The Somerset region is known for its lakes, river systems,
and relaxed country towns such as Esk, Kilcoy, Fernvale, and Toogoolawah. The Brisbane Valley offers the iconic Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, stretching through rural landscapes and connecting a string of historic townships.

Starting your morning with a balloon flight creates a natural gateway into Queensland Country. It is the beginning of the day — and often the beginning of a much larger journey — through one of Queensland’s most accessible and diverse inland regions

Queensland Country is best experienced slowly, across multiple stops and moments. The balloon flight is the highlight that opens the door — everything after it is the story unfolding on the ground
