Hot Air Ballooning Anytime for Two
Overview
For high flyers, hot air ballooning is an 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. Mount the basket and launch skyward to astounding heights of up to 3,000 feet, enjoying the peaceful tranquillity and picturesque countryside views. As the balloon moves in unison with the wind, there is no resistance, making the ride a smooth and relaxing one. Afterwards, help the crew pack the balloon away before a drive back to the original launch site to receive a commemorative flight certificate. Balloon operators vary, with some offering a slightly longer flight and others a glass of champagne on landing.
