We Are Gold Coast's Longest Operating Balloon Company
Hot Air Balloon Down Under is the Gold Coast’s and Queensland’s longest operating hot air balloon business and one of the oldest in Australia. We are proud members of The Gold Coast Best Tours and are the only ballooning business on the Gold Coast to be awarded for excellence by the Australian Tourism Industry. A finalist in the Supreme Hospitality Awards, we were also recently awarded the Hospitality Award for “Outstanding Courtesy and Service to the Gold Coast Tourist Industry”.
Where it all started
Bernhard Weibel purchased Balloon Down Under and it still operates as a family business here on the Gold Coast. With the families relaxed, easy manner and professionalism they will calm even the most nervous first time balloon flyers.
