All about the trip

Start your adventure with a private pick-up from your hotel. Greet the driver, hop in and rest for about 40-60 minutes, until you reach the balloon launch site.

Your pilot and his team will get your balloon ready. Did you know it only takes around 20 minutes to get the entire balloon ready to fly?

Upon your arrival to the site, you are welcome to bite on prepared snacks, have water, or sip on cold beer or coffee. At this time, your pilot gives you instructions for boarding, the flight itself, and landing. He also checks on your current overall condition to make sure everyone is ready for the flight. He takes responsibility for you - he has the last word!

After the briefing by your pilot, our team starts the balloon inflation process. It takes around 10 minutes to erect the balloon. You are welcome to watch, take pictures and enjoy the scenery.

Once the balloons are up, you will be invited to jump on board. Are you ready to take off? The pilot ignites the burners and lifts the balloon off the ground. Hot-air ballooning belongs to the most peaceful and romantic activities one could ever experience. Once floating in the air you'll be amazed by the silence and infinite space around you. The flight level ranges from the tree-tops all the way up to 1,5 km above the ground. Spot wild animals, wave at locals, and take amazing pictures!

After about 1 hour the pilot searches for the best place to land. You will be instructed to get into a "landing position" and to await further instructions.

The landing is usually soft as if you landed into a blanket. However, it also very much depends on the wind speed. If the wind is stronger, you might experience a little bump, or in rare cases, a short drag-landing. All of the landings are safe, the more wind we have the more fun our passengers actually have at the landing. So no worries!

Once landed, your pilot will pull out a bottle of wine, glasses, and aviators' certificates. He is also going to tell you a bit about the history of ballooning and why we toast. At this point feel free to take more pics, watch our team pack the balloon and get ready for the way back. During the flight your pilot takes a few photos and lets you use the camera to take some for, and of, yourself. He will then download them and send them out to the passengers.
