Hot Air Balloon facts
- Because hot air balloons move with the wind passengers feel absolutely no wind for a unique, exceptionally quiet flight and great birds-eye-view.
- The first hot air balloon ride with un tethered human passengers was on October 19th, 1783. Scientist Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier and two others petitioned for the honour of riding. King Louis XVI had originally decided that condemned criminals would be the first pilots - rather seems like an excellent opportunity for escape.
- Hot air balloons are able to fly to extremely high altitudes. On November 26, 2005, Vijaypat Singhania set the world altitude record for highest hot air balloon flight, reaching 21,290 meters (69,852 feet). He took off from downtown Bombay, India and landed 240 km (150 miles) south in Panchale.

There are so many adjectives used in trying to describe a balloon flight: exhilarating, beautiful, amazing, breathtaking... These words don't capture the essence of a hot air balloon ride.

Customer Reviews of our Hot Air Balloon Flights
Hot Air Ballooning is something I've always wanted to have a go at. It just looked so much fun floating around with the clouds - and it was! I loved every second of my Virgin hot air balloon flight and it was an experience I'll not forget in a hurry.

I bought this Virgin hot air balloon ride for me and my wife for our anniversary gift. She thought it was a really romantic idea and a fabulous day out. As as methods of transport go this sure beats driving through traffic jams!

What a relaxing experience, floating through the skies in hot air balloon. We found hot air ballooning to be the best flying experience we'd ever had - gave a completely different perspective on the local area.
