Exclusive Champagne Balloon Flight for 2

With only the wind to guide your direction, let you worries drift away as your float along with the clouds! This is a fantastic experience for those special occasions!

Agenda

On the morning of your chosen flight you will start by meeting the pilot and crew and sign yourself in. There will be a short flight safety briefing and you will then 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 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 won'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.
