Exclusive Champagne Balloon Rides in the South West

Prepare for an unforgettable journey as you embark on a private balloon ride over the picturesque South West of England. This exclusive experience is perfect for intimate gatherings, whether it's a romantic date or a joyful celebration with friends. You can choose to share this magical adventure with two, three, or four passengers, making each flight special and personal.

Your experience begins at one of our many scenic launch sites, where you'll receive a warm welcome and a brief safety tutorial. As the balloon gently ascends, you'll be enveloped by panoramic views that stretch as far as the eye can see. Imagine hovering above rolling hills, lush valleys, and charming towns, all while enjoying the serenity that only a hot air balloon can offer. Each moment is designed to take your breath away!

As you float through the sky, raise your glass to the experience with a complimentary Champagne toast. It's the perfect way to commemorate your adventure and create lasting memories. After landing, you’ll receive a certificate to remember your flight, and for those feeling adventurous, you might even help with the balloon pack-up. This is more than just a ride; it's a unique experience that promises joy and excitement.
