Nothing quite compares to the serenity of ballooning. Gaze down over the fields, hedgerows and villages, dappled in a tranquil early morning light. Bask in the magical silence as you float high above the ground and then drop low enough to skim the hedgerows and treetops. It's a perfect way to take fabulous pictures - and a treat to remember for many years. A hot air ballooning gift experience is the perfect present for any occasion.
After helping to inflate the balloon, you'll take off for an hour's flight and see the world below sliding slowly by. Enjoy a traditional champagne toast, and receive a flight certificate signed by your pilot and Sir Richard Branson.
