Fly In A Hot Air Balloon!

Imagine watching the world below wake up from 2000ft as you drift serenely in the early morning sky. Enjoy the sun rising over your county of choice as unforgettable views of beautiful scenery below unfold.

Why imagine when you can experience it for real with a hot air balloon ride.

And by taking a midweek flight, it is not only cheaper and, you have the comforting thought that everyone else has to get up for work. Which means greater availability too! It certainly beats the commute into work.

You will receive a list of locations and will be able to register with your chosen balloon operator and advise them of your weekday morning availability. The operator will then contact you when there is a promising weather forecast and a morning flight is being arranged for your preferred day, to see if you are available.

Call for a final weather check the evening prior to your morning flight to ensure the weather is suitable, and be sure to arrive in plenty of time for your flight.

Your itinerary starts just after dawn at which time you will be invited to help prepare the balloon for flight with the rest of the guests.

Flights last about an hour, the whole experience lasts around three and a half hours.
