Enjoy a magical weekday hot air balloon ride over Exeter, taking in breathtaking views of this historic cathedral city and the surrounding Devon countryside. These one-hour flights offer a peaceful yet exhilarating way to experience one of the South West’s most picturesque regions from above. Most launches take place from Winslade Park, just outside the city centre, where you will meet the experienced ballooning team before watching the balloon come to life. If you would like to get involved, you are welcome to help with the inflation before climbing aboard for your flight. Once airborne, the wind charts your course — perhaps drifting over rolling farmland, vineyards, the River Exe estuary or stretching coastline. After landing, you will celebrate your adventure with a traditional post-flight toast, rounding off a truly unforgettable weekday experience.
