About the experience
Embark on an adventurous family day out with a thrilling Hot Air Balloon ride available from a range of locations across picturesque Devon! With capacity for eight people you can take the whole family on an exciting ride through the skies. Although you’re guaranteed to experience incredible countryside and coastal views across the county, one of the most unique aspects of Hot Air Balloon Rides is that you never know - completely - what direction you are going to fly in. This is because Balloon rides are controlled by the direction of the wind. So, prepare to be surprised as you fly a course of the unknown across Devon. However, not everything is up in the air, as the pilot can control how high you are flying. Whether you are floating at 500 or 5000 ft, the variability of altitudes on these rides means you can explore well known landmarks and sights across Devon from a range of perspectives. Although balloon riding is a relaxing and exciting experience, this flight also provides you with the opportunity to learn some behind the scenes information! If willing, your pilot will talk you through how to set up and take down the balloon and show you how it’s done. If you’ve ever been curious about how hot air balloons function, this is a nerdy aspect you won’t want to miss out on! For big milestone birthdays or special occasions, you’ll want to have a serious think about booking the family on for a once in a lifetime balloon ride where you’ll create enough memories to last a lifetime.
