About Gold Coast Hot Air Balloon and Arro Jet Boat Ride

Hot air balloon flights are highly weather-dependent and require an early morning departure before sunrise to ensure optimal wind conditions. The Arro Jet Boat ride involves high-speed maneuvers and sudden stops, making it unsuitable for pregnant women or individuals with pre-existing back, neck, or heart conditions. Participants should wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes and layered clothing for the cool morning flight, and bring a change of clothes as the jet boat experience may result in getting wet.

Gear up for the ultimate Gold Coast adventure with a hot air balloon flight and a jet boat ride. Whether you do both on the same day or spread them out, the choice is yours. Your day begins with complimentary transfers from your accommodation early as friendly guides take you to the balloon launch site before dawn. Hop aboard with your expert pilot and float over the countryside, taking in views of the Gold Coast Hinterland and Scenic Rim from above. After your peaceful flight, the fun continues with everyone pitching in to pack up the balloon. Then, it's off to an exclusive boutique vineyard for a hot breakfast and a sparkling wine toast. When you’re ready for some thrills, it's time to head to the Sea World Marine Precinct for your free Arro Jet Boat ride. Setting off from the high-speed zone in the Broadwater hold on tight as the skilled pilot takes you on an adrenaline-pumping journey with high-speed turns and 360 spins.
