The Experience
Take to the skies on a hot air balloon ride, floating high above rolling hills, rivers and stunning landscapes across the UK. With over 100 launch sites in England, Scotland, and Wales, there’s always a location near you.
Your adventure starts on the ground, where you can assist with inflating the balloon before stepping into the basket. As the burners fire up, you’ll gently lift off, rising up to 5,000 feet and enjoying breath-taking views stretching to the horizon. The peaceful stillness, interrupted only by the occasional whoosh of the flame, makes this a truly unique way to experience the world from above.
This anytime voucher gives you complete flexibility, allowing you to fly any morning or evening, seven days a week—including weekends. Flights last around an hour in the air, with the full experience taking 3–4 hours. Once back on solid ground, celebrate your flight with a Prosecco toast, the perfect way to mark the occasion.
