See the best of the Cairns Highlands by air, with a balloon flight and rainforest cableway experience.
Raging Thunder will take you up on a magical and exhilarating flight of your life in the world's largest commercial hot air balloon. The Atherton Tablelands provide the perfect conditions for Hot Air Ballooning and the view from your basket of rolling hills and winding streams is stunning.
A coach will pick you up from your accommodation for the 90 minute drive to the flight site. You will arrive just in time to see the balloons beginning to inflate.
As the sun rises your pilots gently lift off and quietly glide the balloons over the panorama of the Cairns Highlands.
After your magnificent 30 minute flight transfer to Kuranda Village for free time to explore the markets.
There is an opportunity to take advantage of their in-flight digital photo technology. Here you can have your photo taken whilst in-flight; high above the Atherton Tablelands in one of the majestic balloons is a moment to be treasured forever.
Then it's time to board Skyrail, the world's longest gondola cableway, for the journey back to Cairns. The cable stretches 7.5 kilometres just metres above Tropical North Queensland's world heritage rainforest with views of the coast like you've never seen before. It is a brilliant half-day option for people of all ages.

- All accommodation transfers
- 30 minute Hot Air Balloon Flight
