Balloon Sunrise was founded in 1986, becoming the first commercial hot air ballooning operation in Australia. The company offers hot air balloon flights over the great city of Melbourne, the beautiful Yarra Valley and various regional locations in Victoria.

The Yarra River has long been a favourite feature of Melbourne, and this is the chance to explore it in a unique way.

Based on the gondolas used in Venice, these gondolas are actually built in Melbourne. Taking up to four passengers, and stocking plush cushions, warm rugs and upholstered velvet seats, visitors are taken care of regardless of the weather conditions.

A bottle of champagne awaits you as you step into the gondola, and you will then be taken on a tour past major attractions of the city, including Southbank, Crown Casino and Federation Square. The gondolier steers and rows the bost from a separate section at the rear, so couples can enjoy their privacy.

Whether you want to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy some quality time together, Venice on the Yarra provides a new and exciting way of doing it!
