Activity Details

After picking you up from your hotel, the tour heads north, leaving the city behind as we make our way to the take-off area, between 35 minutes and an hour away. It'll be an early start, but trust us, it'll be well worth it!

Upon arrival, the balloon inflation begins, and the adventure truly takes off! Early morning is the ideal time to fly, thanks to the calm air and the soft light of dawn.

We'll take off and drift silently through the sky for between 45 minutes and an hour (depending on wind and weather conditions)—a peaceful and unforgettable experience.

After landing, enjoy tea and a traditional breakfast with locals before we begin the journey back, following scenic 4x4 tracks.

We’ll arrive back after a total of between 4 and 5 hours.
