A truly breathtaking experience

Liberty Balloon Flights, recently awarded Silver in the Adventure Tourism category at the Victorian Tourism Awards, continues to captivate passengers with its breathtaking aerial tours of Geelong.

Offering an unparalleled view of the region, passengers meet at Rydges Hotel in central Geelong before embarking on an early morning journey that promises both tranquillity and wonder.

These magical balloon flights typically take place at sunrise, the safest and most awe-inspiring time of day when the landscape awakens beneath you.

As the balloon drifts through the skies, passengers are suspended in a timeless capsule, taking in stunning views of both urban and rural Geelong. The launch site varies based on the day’s wind direction, with take-offs from the Bellarine Peninsula, Geelong itself, or the picturesque Murgheboluc and Bannockburn areas.

In 2025, Liberty Balloon Flights is launching a new event: the Geelong Balloon Fiesta. Over the March long weekend (March 8 to 10), multiple balloons will grace the skies above Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula.

The event will culminate in a spectacular balloon glow at night, providing an unforgettable display of illuminated hot air balloons. With music, food, and entertainment, the family-friendly fiesta promises to celebrate community and the magic of ballooning, drawing tourists and locals alike into a weekend of enchantment and joy.
