To fly in a hot air balloon is an experience like no other. You feel like you are not moving but at the same tiem you are covering a lot of ground. The views from up here are amazing, the world does look different. It is so peaceful, you won't want to come down.

  • A sensation like no other
  • Views are incredable from above
  • The feeling of peacefulness 
  • Wonderful celebratory breakfast

  • What to bring:

    This is an outdoor activity, so please don't wear your best clothes. Dress as for hiking, i.e. high heels, thongs or open sandals are not suitable. Bring a change of socks in winter, or after rain, as feet can get wet and cold in the 'dewy' grass. We suggest you bring a cap as it can get warm on your head underneath the 'burner'. Sunglasses are also recommended. It will not be any colder in the air than on the ground. Dress in layers, so you can take a jacket or windcheater off, so as not to become too warm in the balloon.
