About this experience

The Exclusive VIP Balloon Flight is a private ride designed for those who wish to enjoy the experience with more privacy. Whether you are flying alone, as a couple, or with friends, the balloon is completely yours. With only two passengers in the basket, you will have the opportunity to learn the basics of ballooning from the pilot and even try piloting it yourself for a while. For this experience, you will fly in a small, competition-style balloon, which is much more agile and dynamic than a standard passenger balloon.

Activity's description

The activity starts at dawn with passenger pick-up at the meeting point. Then, passengers have the opportunity to help with flight preparations: setting up and inflating the balloon. Once the balloon is ready, we take off for a ride lasting more than an hour. The wind guides our path over the Catalonian landscapes. The landing marks the end of our flight, where the 'chase crew' arrives to collect the balloon and the passengers. We then return to the launch site to celebrate the experience with a Cava toast and a special snack. To finish, passengers will receive a first flight certificate signed by the pilot.

Useful information

Specific Cancellation Policy for non-residents

Should weather conditions be unsuitable on the day of the flight, you may reschedule or receive a full refund (excluding non-refundable gift certificates). This must be requested at the time of booking.

Flying season

In Catalonia, it is possible to fly all year long. In fact, flying in winter offers some interesting advantages for the passengers: the weather is generally more stable what allows a longer flight and you can get up later as dawn takes place later in the morning.

Good weather condition for a good flight

Hot-air ballooning is weather dependent. To ensure the flight, we absolutely need to have weak winds (less than 20 kmph) and no rain. In case of unsuitable weather conditions we would offer to passengers alternatives dates.

Restriction

A hot-air balloon ride is a very safe activity but in order for our passengers to avoid running any risk, we advise pregnant women and children under 6 not to fly.
