Balloon Rides Limited is a company rising from one man's unbounded enthusiasm for the sport of hot air ballooning. Our 30 plus years of experience in flying and manufacturing hot-air balloons coupled with our association with the Civil Aviation Authority, puts us at the forefront of modern hot air ballooning.

Our pilots have won both national, international and world ballooning awards, flown television and film celebrities, secured several national flight records, and made a number of 'adventure' flights crossing the English Channel, the Irish Sea and the Alps. Hardly surprising then that we offer to you unmatched expertise, an unblemished safety record, excellent service and above all, enthusiasm for our sport.

On a typical hot air balloon flight the adventure begins long before your balloon leaves the ground. You will be invited to take part in unpacking and inflating the balloon and will have a chance to meet and greet your fellow passengers before climbing aboard.

When your pilot is happy to launch the balloon his ground crew will release the tethers and retreat to the chase vehicle and your flight will begin. You will rise into the air and gently float on the breeze over trees and buildings, high above the fields and rolling hills of the Yorkshire countryside, suspended in a woven wicker basket beneath a big, beautiful balloon.

Hot air ballooning is a truly memorable experience, and a hot air ballooning ride ticket is a wonderful gift idea that is less expensive than you might think. We operate two balloons from five launch sites in Yorkshire, UK, including the county's ancient Capital City of York.

So how do you book a hot air balloon ride? Simply choose a date when you would like to fly and then buy your ticket safely online, you will be contacted by our office and provisionally booked onto a flight as close to your chosen date as possible.
