Overview
Why buy from us?
Your opportunity to take in the glorious county of Somerset on a Hot Air Balloon ride awaits you on this excellent Balloon flying experience. One of the great things about Somerset is that it is a location that encompasses pretty much everything; from glorious stretches of coastline and undulating countryside, to historic towns and picturesque villages, so it lends itself to being discovered from the air so well. The launch site is of your choosing, with locations across the county including Bath and Bristol. Typically, it'll be on areas such as training grounds, farm estates or playing fields, as these have ample space to unfold the balloon (and also pack it away at the end of the flight) - and yes, you can absolutely get involved with this part if you'd like to! You'll be part of a group of up to eight passengers, and once you're in the basket, your pilot will release the burners to get you up to heights of around 2000 ft in the air. And aside from that, it's basically the wind direction and speed that will carry you along and determine the route you'll take. And depending on which area you book your flight from, you'll see something different, whether that's the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, the magnificent Georgian stone buildings in Bath, the Mendip hills or the south coastline beyond Taunton. One thing that will strike you is just how calm it is flying in the basket of the balloon. And best of all, once you return to terra firma and return to your starting point, you can toast the flight with a complimentary glass of champagne!
