Glide serenely over the Yarra River while taking in views of sparkling skyscrapers and lush parks from a unique vantage point.

For approximately an hour, take in stunning sights with just you and the sky above Melbourne. Listen to birds chirping as you feel the warmth of the flame that lifts you higher.
