The Experience
Take adventure to new heights with a hot air balloon ride for two, offering the freedom to fly any day of the week, morning or evening.
With over 100 launch sites across England, Scotland and Wales, finding a nearby take-off point is easy.
Your journey begins before take-off, where you can help prepare the balloon for flight (optional). As the burners ignite, you'll gently ascend, leaving the world behind as you soar up to 5,000 feet. From this incredible vantage point, take in breath-taking views of rolling hills, rivers and picturesque countryside. The peaceful atmosphere makes for a truly awe-inspiring experience.
Unlike restricted weekday-only options, this anytime voucher gives you complete flexibility, with flights available seven days a week. Whether you're watching the sunrise or catching the sunset, every flight is unique. After approximately an hour in the air, you’ll land and raise a Prosecco toast to celebrate your adventure.
