What's included

Up, Up And Away


Our VIP exclusive flight is an amazing way of having the joy of a hot air balloon flight fom a location of your choosing (Subject to survey!)

Few can resist the attraction as one hundred feet of wispy nylon majestically rises with the dragon-like roar of the burners. As you take off you'll be more aware of the ground dropping away than of any sensation of movement or rising. The feeling of peace and tranquillity is heightened by the apparent lack of wind - because you're moving with it.

The Tapestry Below

Once in the air, your balloon travels up to heights of several thousand feet, allowing you to gaze down upon villages, towns and the countryside. The 'miniature' people and cars scattered seemingly at random across the ground below look as if they've fallen from a toy box.

Picture This

The supremely steady balloon basket provides an excellent vantage point for aerial photography. This un-missable opportunity to record your trip is heightened by the ability of the pilot to turn the balloon using the 'rotation vents' – thus providing you with a truly panoramic view as you float through the air.

Wild Thing

You'll also have a good chance of spotting wildlife, particularly on morning flights. Views depend entirely on the wind direction on the day, which means every flight is a unique experience.

All Good Things……

We round off every balloon flight with a champagne toast and a commemorative flight certificate presentation, making the occasion even more memorable and ensuring that the experience is one that will stay with you for years to come.

Flying over an area of the country you know well is a great experience. Once you (the passenger) have contacted the Operator you will be sent an information pack.
