Champagne Hot Air Balloon Flight for 2

Champagne Hot Air Balloon Flight for 2

Few can resist the attraction of tranquil beauty, especially with one hundred feet of Wispy Nylon majestically rising you to unimaginable heights. As you take off you'll be more aware of the ground dropping away than the sensation of rising.  Let your worries drift away as you glide over beautiful landscapes, sipping on a glass of champagne with a loved one. A truly magical experience that really encapsulates what it is to float with the clouds

Agenda

Once you have arrived and been welcomed to the centre you will begin with a short safety briefing before you can help to prepare inflate the balloon. Once all final checks have been completed you will be invited to climb into the basket and prepare for take off. It will often be incredibly smooth, and you probably won't even realise you've actually left the ground until you notice people and places getting ever smaller. It will be peaceful, with the occasional roar of the burners to keep you at altitude. After about an hour of flight time you will prepare for landing, which mightn't be quite as smooth as take off! You will finish off the experience by helping the crew to pack away the balloon, and return to the start point. You will end this fantastic experience by enjoying a Champagne Toast with a commemorative flight certificate presentation.
