Our Hot Air Balloon Packages & Pricing Information

Create unforgettable memories with a hot air balloon flight near Brisbane

Lift off with Floating Images Hot Air Balloon Flights—Brisbane’s closest boutique ballooning operator, just 30 minutes west of Brisbane and 60 minutes east of Toowoomba. From the moment your morning begins, there is a sense of anticipation as you step into a sunrise experience that feels both close to home and completely removed from the everyday.

Your journey begins at the Ipswich Visitor Information Centre, a central and easy-to-find meeting point. From there, you travel with us to the day’s launch site, where the balloon slowly comes to life in the soft light of sunrise.

This is Floating Images’ signature daily balloon flight and the most complete way to experience the Greater Brisbane region from above.

As you rise into the sky, you drift gently over Ipswich, Scenic Rim, and Somerset countryside—quiet suburban pockets, winding rivers, farmland, rural townships, and distant mountain ranges unfolding beneath you in the morning light.

This is more than a scenic flight. It is a shared sunrise experience that feels both close to Brisbane and completely removed from everyday life.

Every flight is boutique in nature, guided by owner and Chief Pilot Graeme Day, with over 34 years of experience. With small passenger numbers and a single-flight morning operation, the experience remains calm, personal, and unhurried.

We have operated in this carefully selected flying region west of Brisbane since 2001.
