Hot Air Balloon Experience

Experience the awesome thrill and peaceful serenity of a Hot Air Balloon Flight. A balloon flight is an experience you will truly never forget!

When you meet on the launch site you will be checked in by our groundcrew. After the passenger safety briefings are completed the hot air balloon will be prepared and as part of the experience you can if you wish help the crew with the inflation, when all the final safety checks are complete the adventure begins.

Also included is a champagne toast.

All of our gift experiences are presented in an attractive red case with “Congratulations – you are the lucky recipient of a Well Wicked experience day” written on the front. You will also get a DVD featuring many of our experiences. Experience vouchers can be personalised if required.
