Up to 3 days in Hot-air ballooning

You fly at dawn or not at all

Ballooning needs still air, and still air is a couple of hours after sunrise. An afternoon slot does not exist, and a flight that is cancelled for wind was cancelled correctly.

The landing is the part to listen about

A basket can land upright or it can tip and drag. Face the direction you are told, hold the handles inside the basket rather than the rim, and keep your knees bent until it stops moving.

Flat shoes, nothing loose

You climb into and out of a basket over its side. Hats, scarves and open shoes all end up in a field.

It is colder up there and hotter under the burner

A layer you can take off, and be aware the burner directly overhead is genuinely fierce for a few seconds at a time.

Who is actually running this trip?

The operator you picked on the compare screen. You book and pay MyAdventure; the operator runs the trip for us. MyAdventure handles refunds, and steps in if the batch is cancelled.

What if I cannot complete it?

Ask the operator what their turn-back protocol is — it varies by trip, and the good ones publish it.

Is the batch mixed-gender and solo-friendly?

Most departures take solo travellers and share accommodation by gender. Confirm with the operator for this batch.
