About the experience
Is there a better combination than picturesque views and some good food and drink? Luckily, with this Hot Air Balloon Experience in various locations across the UK you get just that! If the aerial views weren’t impressive enough, you’ll also get to sample some Somerset produce including Cheddars to Somerset Brie alongside a refreshing Thatcher's cider. With locations across the country, there is so much to explore from the air ranging from big country houses, lakes, hills and gorgeous coastlines. As you float across the skies your route will provide you with endless surprises as remember - the wind controls your flight path on a hot air balloon - not the pilot! Wherever you end up exploring, the views from this distance will provide you with some incredible photo opportunities and lifelong memories. Upon landing, if the cheese, cider and views weren't enough you’ll also be treated to a glass of apple sparkling wine on landing. With good food, beautiful views and the opportunity to spend some quality time with a loved one, what’s not to like?
