Whether it’s a birthday surprise, anniversary treat, or just a thoughtful way to say “you deserve something special,” a private balloon ride is a gift they’ll never forget.
What makes this experience extra special is the privacy.

Finally, the Taunton, Quantock Hills and South Somerset launch sites offer picture-perfect rural landscapes and a peaceful escape from the everyday.
From take-off to landing, everything is taken care of. You’ll be in safe hands with an experienced pilot and every moment will feel relaxed, exciting and completely personal. Transport back to the launch site is also included.

Give the gift of adventure, tranquillity, and jaw-dropping views with a Private Hot Air Balloon Flight they’ll remember forever.
Ballooning is a weather dependent activity and your flight will be rescheduled if weather conditions are not suitable for flying.
Since hot air balloons travel with the wind, certain wind directions may lead to limited landing options or challenging terrain. To ensure a smooth, safe and enjoyable flight, it may be necessary to move launch site on the day.
