Vista Seated Hot Air Balloon Ride For Four In The South West

Take to the skies in comfort and style with a truly unique seated hot air balloon adventure for four. Designed for those who love the idea of floating through the air but prefer a more relaxed and accessible way to enjoy the journey, this unforgettable experience lets you and your group sit back, unwind, and soak in the magic as the world drifts quietly beneath you.

Imagine settling into your seats inside a specially adapted balloon basket, sharing the moment with your favourite people. As the burners fire and the balloon begins its gentle ascent, the landscape opens up in every direction—rolling countryside, patchwork fields, winding rivers, and historic skylines. Every minute brings a new view worth savouring.

Flights depart from either Bristol or Bath, two iconic ballooning locations known for their stunning scenery and rich heritage. Whether the breeze guides you over the city, glides you across rural Somerset, or carries you towards scenic hilltops, one thing is certain: the South West has no shortage of breathtaking backdrops.

For an extra touch of celebration, choose to include the drinks package. With champagne poured by your onboard host, you can raise a glass to the moment as you drift peacefully above the world. It’s indulgent, memorable, and the perfect way to make an already spectacular experience even more special.

A seated balloon flight isn’t just a ride—it’s an event to treasure. Designed for comfort without losing any of the wonder, this experience suits adventurers of all ages and occasions. Planning a big birthday? Marking an anniversary? Creating a memory with friends or family? This extraordinary journey is guaranteed to leave everyone smiling long after landing.

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.
