Hot Air Ballooning Anytime for Two
Overview
For high flyers, hot air ballooning is one experience not to be missed! Begin on solid ground with a full flight safety briefing from the pilot, before assisting in the preparation and inflation of the hot air balloon itself. Mount the basket and launch skyward to astounding heights of up to 3,000 feet, enjoying the peaceful tranquillity and picturesque countryside views. Because the balloon moves in unison with the wind, there is no resistance, making the ride smooth and relaxing. Afterwards, help the crew pack the balloon away before enjoying a celebratory glass of champagne (or a soft drink) and being driven back to the original launch site. Finish with the presentation of a commemorative flight certificate to remember the experience by.
