Your Hot Air Balloon Experience is a chance to have an aerial thrill like nothing before. While your feet are still firmly on the ground, you will have a chance to meet the pilot and get a flight safety briefing before you help prepare for the flight and inflate the hot air balloon. After everything is set up and ready to go, all the flyers climb into the basket for the launch. The hot air balloon fly to heights of up to 3,000 feet, basking in the exceptional views of the countryside. Enjoy the serene tranquil air and clouds flying with no wind resistance.
After your Hot Air Balloon Experience has landed back on the ground, help the crew pack the balloon away before going back to the launch site for the presentation of a commemorative flight certificate. All balloon operators vary with what they provide, some offer a slightly longer flight while others provide a glass of champagne on landing. This is the most serene way to fly and enjoy the view.
All flights take place at dawn or dusk, as this is when the air is at its most stable. Your Hot Air Balloon Experience will be available weekdays and weekends from March/April to October/November, dates do fill very quickly so get this amazing experience quick.
