The Main Event

Looking for a truly memorable gift that will leave someone speechless? A Private Hot Air Balloon Flight over Bristol, Somerset or Bath is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that takes adventure and romance to new heights, quite literally.

Whether it’s a birthday surprise, anniversary treat, or just a thoughtful way to say “you deserve something special,” a private balloon ride is a gift they’ll never forget.

What makes this experience extra special is the privacy. With no strangers in the basket, it’s just you, your lucky guest (or guests) and the pilot, floating peacefully above some of the most stunning scenery in the South West. You’ll have the whole balloon to yourselves, a rare and luxurious way to enjoy this magical mode of travel.

There are three beautiful areas to choose from, each with its own charm. Soar above Bristol, Bath and the Chew Valley, taking in historic cities and rolling countryside. Or opt for the dramatic views of Cheddar Gorge, Glastonbury and the Mendip Hills, perfect for nature lovers and those after something a little wilder. Finally, the Taunton, Quantock Hills and South Somerset launch sites offer picture-perfect rural landscapes and a peaceful escape from the everyday.

From take-off to landing, everything is taken care of. You’ll be in safe hands with an experienced pilot and every moment will feel relaxed, exciting and completely personal. Transport back to the launch site is also included.

If you’re shopping for someone who values experiences over things, this is the kind of gift that will stay with them forever. It’s thoughtful, unique and full of wow factor, ideal for big birthdays, proposals or simply treating someone who means the world to you.

Give the gift of adventure, tranquillity, and jaw-dropping views with a Private Hot Air Balloon Flight they’ll remember forever.

Important Bits

Important to Note

Ballooning is a weather dependent activity and your flight will be rescheduled if weather conditions are not suitable for flying. 

Since hot air balloons travel with the wind, certain wind directions may lead to limited landing options or challenging terrain. To ensure a smooth, safe and enjoyable flight, it may be necessary to move launch site on the day.

When

Morning and evening flights are available, seven days a week - subject to availability.

Booking in advance is recommended, especially for peak times like weekends.

Timings will vary throughout the year, as daylight hours change - see the FAQ section for approximate times.

Please allow 3 to 3.5 hours in total for the whole experience.

Validity

Your voucher is valid for 12 Months from the date of issue.

Please note you must have booked and taken your experience before the expiry date.

Who Can Go

  • It is recommended that children be at least 6-7 years old and at least 4 feet tall so they can comfortably see over the basket.
  • Children under the age of 15 must be accompanied by an adult (aged 18+).
  • There is a maximum weight per passenger of 17 stone. Please advise when booking of anyone over 17 stone.
  • Outdoor clothing and comfortable footwear is recommended.
  • You must be reasonably fit and able to board and disembark the balloon basket.
  • Any medical conditions or special requirements should be disclosed at the time of booking.
  • If you're pregnant or have recently undergone major surgery, you can't fly in a hot air balloon. Your vouchers will be extended on a month by month basis. There will be no extra cost if 4 attempts have been made in 12 months.

FAQs

Hot air balloon flight meeting times

Meeting times vary throughout the year as daylight hours change but they are planned to ensure the most stable and picturesque times of the day.

Flights typically take place just after sunrise or a few hours before sunset, when the air is calm and the scenery is at its most breathtaking. However, meeting times may vary by up to 30 minutes either way, depending on the weather conditions and specific flight location for the day.

You'll be kept informed of the meeting time for your booking but here is a rough guide:

Morning Flights - As early as 5:30am or as late as 7:00am, depending on sunrise times

Evening Flights - As early as 3:30pm or as late as 6.30pm, depending on sunset times
