Private Hot Air Balloon Ride For Families In The South West

Get ready to elevate your next celebration, literally, with a private hot air balloon ride for up to six people. This incredible experience is all about togetherness, giving your group the rare chance to enjoy the sky entirely to yourselves. No crowds, no strangers, and no distractions, just your favourite people drifting peacefully above the beautiful South West.

From the moment the balloon begins to rise, excitement takes over. Bristol and Bath both offer spectacular launch locations, each surrounded by rolling hills, historic landmarks, and sweeping countryside. Whichever site you choose, the views begin the moment your feet leave the ground and only get better the higher you climb.

There’s something truly special about sharing a balloon with just your own group. Perhaps it’s the laughter that bubbles up as you all take in the unbelievable scenery, or the quiet moments when you look around and realise you’re experiencing something extraordinary together. It’s the kind of moment that becomes a core memory, and a story that gets retold for years.

Whether you’re planning an unforgettable birthday surprise, gathering the family for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, or marking a milestone in style, this private balloon flight delivers the perfect blend of excitement, tranquillity, and wonder.

Ballooning is a weather dependant activity and needs suitable weather and suitable ground conditions to go ahead.

Your balloon ride will be cancelled if the weather is considered inappropriate (rain, strong winds, fog) or if the ground does not allow for easy vehicle and trailer access.

You will be given as much advanced notice as possible if your balloon ride is cancelled and you will be able to reschedule it for a later date.

Vouchers are non refundable should the ride be cancelled due to bad weather.
