Ballooning is for people of all ages. Today's balloons are extremely safe and very comfortable to fly in. The basket has step holes to climb in and out with, padded wicker compartments in which to stand and high sides to protect you upon landing, you're as safe as houses. Friends and family can also join in the fun, they are welcome to watch, take photographs, help inflate the balloon and even share your adventure by following to the spot where the balloon lands.

For ballooning to take place at all, the local weather must be on our side. Ideally we are looking for light surface winds and stable air conditions. Calmer air is usually found at dusk and dawn, so that's when we fly. The balloon launch times will vary according to the season, and with each passing season comes stunning changes in the colours of the landscape. Having arrived at your chosen balloon launch site and met your fellow passengers, your pilot will gather together the lucky ones who will be flying and begin a thorough pre-flight brief, answering any queries you may have.
