Greater Brisbane Tours 

Discover the magic of a sunrise hot air balloon flight just beyond Brisbane with Floating Images Hot Air Balloon Flights. This is our signature experience and the way we share ballooning at its best—an early morning escape that feels a world away yet is so close to home.

From the air, vibrant suburban landscapes gently give way to rolling countryside, mountain ranges, and winding rivers across Ipswich, Scenic Rim, and Somerset countryside. It’s a region we know well, and every flight is a reminder of how diverse and beautiful this part of Queensland is.

What makes this experience so easy and so unique is its proximity to Brisbane. You don’t need to travel far to leave the city behind—within a short drive west of Brisbane, you’re already in open skies and ballooning country. As the only ballooning operator based on Brisbane’s western side, we fly from a carefully selected flying region west of Brisbane, which we have operated in consistently since 2001.

As the sun rises, we gently lift into the morning sky and drift with the wind across an ever-changing landscape. One moment you’re floating above quiet suburban pockets and rural townships, tracing the Brisbane and Bremer Rivers; the next, you’re over open countryside, farmland, and distant mountain ranges stretching to the horizon.

Our flights are intentionally boutique and personal. This keeps the atmosphere calm, the experience unhurried, and the focus on the flight itself. You’re guided by Chief Pilot Graeme Day, with over 34 years of ballooning experience, bringing professionalism, safety, and insight to every journey.

We operate a single sunrise flight each morning from our easily accessible Greater Brisbane region base near Ipswich, ensuring a consistent, truly immersive experience and well-paced from preparation to landing.
