Hot Air Balloon Rides Across Southern England - Flights in Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire

If you are looking for hot air balloon rides in Southern England, our flights have bases in Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire. Hot Air Ballooning is an adventure that will last between three and four hours from start to finish. We meet at the launch site and start with a safety briefing. We will then commence the inflation and you will have an opportunity if you wish to get involved and help the crew ready the balloon for flight.

The flight will last approximately one hour depending on where we are going and where it will be safe to land. No, we do not know where we will go! it is totally dependant on the wind direction on the day

The balloon will be followed by the retreive vehicles who are in radio contact and when the balloon has landed it will be packed away and you will be transported back to the launch site for the traditional champagne celebration. You will also be presented with your commemorative certificate and have the opportunity to purchase a unique in flight photograph of your aerial adventure.

Ballooning is very weather orientated and we operate within certain safety limits. We obtain the latest forecast before every flight and fine weather does not neccesarily mean it is OK to fly. We also need light winds with bo chance of rain or bad visibility. Your safety and enjoyment are our prime concerns and if the weather does not co-operate and your flight is cancelled we will rebook you as soon as possible.

As a general guideline we advise clothing that you would wear "if going for a walk in the country" including long trousers and walking boots, no high heels or open toed sandals!! A hat may be required as the burner emits radiant heat.

And one final piece of advice, bring a camera and plenty of film.
