Hot Air Balloon Travel Directions

After booking your hot air balloon ride, travel directions to the ballooning launch site will be issued by the hot air ballooning company or your travel agent with your hot air balloon rides tour voucher. Generally, fifty minutes drive up the scenic rainforest covered Kuranda Range will get you to take off.

If you choose to take hot air balloon rides in Cairns, you have a choice of taking return air conditioned coach transfers to the launch site from your Cairns accommodation, Cairns hotel or resort or visitors can self drive.

The drive to your hot air ballooning is very simple and well sign posted. As you will read in the travel guides, getting to Mareeba, west of Cairns and Port Douglas couldn't be simpler but it is suggested that you organise and book your hot air balloon ride before flying to Cairns or Port Douglas, as sold out periods do occur.
