Bristol Hot Air Balloons

Hot air ballooning in Bristol? Oh yes, it’s as magical as it sounds. Imagine floating high above the city with nothing but the gentle breeze around you, stunning views stretching for miles, and the soft hum of the burner keeping you in the air. Whether you are a thrill seeker or just looking for a unique way to celebrate a special occasion, a hot air balloon ride is an experience you will never forget. Starting off from Ashton Court, this private hot air balloon adventure is more than just a flight. It’s an unforgettable journey. Before you even take off, you will get involved in the action by helping the ground crew assemble the balloon.

The balloon begins as a deflated heap of fabric and then slowly inflates before your eyes, transforming into a towering 90ft vessel that looks like it is straight out of a movie. As you watch it come to life, you cannot help but feel the thrill building. And then, you’re off. Gently lifted by the hot air, you will drift into the sky with panoramic views of Bristol and beyond. The best part? You are free to relax and take in the scenery. From rolling hills to wildlife below, the world looks incredibly peaceful from up there. You are at the mercy of the wind, so it is like nature’s very own rollercoaster. It is not about speed or thrills, but about a serene, awe inspiring experience that feels completely magical.
