Hot Air Ballooning

Hot Air Ballooning

Find out more and buy Rating: 5/5

Have you ever looked up to see a hot air balloon drifting silently overhead? With this experience it'll be you in the basket of the balloon, looking down. First, with your feet still firmly on the ground, you'll meet your pilot and get a flight safety briefing, before helping to prepare and inflate the balloon. Then you'll climb into the basket ready for launching.

You'll fly at heights of up to 5,000 feet, enjoying beautiful views of the countryside below, and the restful peace and quiet (except for when the propane burners are going, that is). Because the balloon moves with the wind, you'll feel no wind at all, just sheer enjoyment. After landing you can help the crew pack the balloon away, before a celebratory glass of champagne (or a soft drink) and being driven back to the launch site (who knows where you'll land? - you can't steer balloons!).

You'll be presented with a commemorative flight certificate, and some centres also offer the chance to purchase an in-flight photo.
