Had an amazing time. Felt safe the entire time, the pilot kept us updated throught the whole flight and told us random things about the surrounding areas. Be aware that you spend over 2 hours in total in a car, as you start the activity from Vic, but you have 2 stops for toilets, coffe and something to eat if you'd like. Be prepared to wake up early, in summer the meeting time is 6am. I went in April and it was at 7.

We booked this online three weeks in advance at a price of £357 for two of us, so not cheap, but definitely worth the experience as neither of us had done it before. We met up with our guides at 6.30 am outside the Hard Rock Cafe, all on time and set off on the one hour journey to Vic, with a brief breakfast stop. We pulled up in a field and got to see the whole set up of the (two) balloons which was interesting to see and after 30 minutes and a safety brief we were in the balloons and ready to go. I won't lie I'm not great with heights and the idea of a basket being between me and a lot of fresh air wasn't the most reassuring of feelings. I was still holding on but really enjoyed the hour or so we were airborne, the quiet up there is almost surreal. The pilot was readily available to answer questions and made everyone feel welcome as we drifted over Vic before coming down softly in a field. We then helped put the balloons away before given a few snacks and a drink and our flying certificates. Overall an unforgettable experience and something I'd do again over another city, was it a little unnerving, sure, but you only live once and I survived and that's what matters.
