Rise 150 meters above Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin’s tethered World Balloon. Your 15-minute ascent offers open views toward the Brandenburg Gate, Sony Center, Axel Springer building, and modern Berlin. The ride is wheelchair accessible, weather dependent, and best on a clear day.
“We had a great time. It was all safe and very german style efficient.”
You’ll trade your voucher at the counter, then rise 120 meters in Aero Angkor Balloon’s tethered gondola, about 800 meters from Angkor Wat. The 15-minute flight offers wide views of Siem Reap and the temples. Sunrise, sunset, and illuminated evening flights may be available.
“Great view of Siem Reap and Angkor temple! It’s great that there’s this option to see the city from a bird view angle! Beautiful scenery! It lasted very short, that’s the only thing. It felt quite private, as we were just 5 people total in the balloon.”
Meet in Sallent for a small-group balloon flight over Catalonia. You help inflate the balloon, fly for about an hour, and finish with Champagne, photos, and a signed certificate. Guides speak Spanish, English, and French. Optional transfers require careful pickup-point checking.
“We had an amazing time on our balloon tour! Gaston, the driver from Barcelona to the take-off site was very nice and even though he didn't speak English very well, he was very hospitable and had a great sense of humor. John, our pilot, was incredible! He was super knowledgeable, professional, funny, and an excellent pilot. The entire crew made the experience so wonderful. I want to give a huge shout-out to Fernando, without his phone call to us as to why we needed to cancel our booking, we would have never had this amazing experience! Essentially, it was a google maps error as when we looked up the meeting…”
Meet at The Dubai Balloon in Atlantis The Palm for a safety briefing and a roughly 10-minute flight with a professional pilot. You’ll rise as high as 300 meters above Palm Jumeirah, with views toward Atlantis The Royal, Burj Al Arab, Burj Khalifa, and Ain Dubai.
“Not too expensive... remember you're getting bird eye views of Dubai. I hope you guys will enjoy the ride, it's totally safe.”
Meet the only air balloon in Rike Park and rise about 150 meters above central Tbilisi for a 10-minute view. Your small group can receive help in Arabic, English, German, Hindi, Russian, or Spanish. Book ahead, since wind may delay the flight.
“It was great, they were helpful, the weather was windy and did not allow us to take the tour we booked but they rescheduled it smoothly and contacted us back when the weather allowed”
You’ll rise in a tethered helium balloon beside Atlantis Palm, reaching up to 300 meters for a 15-minute view of Dubai. Choose the meeting-point option or add transfers. Check the weather forecast within three days of your flight, since wind and rain can stop operations.
“I had the absolute worst experience booking this tour as the 3rd party company TravziWorld not only did not update me that the balloons were not operating the day of my booking, but they continued to text me upon arrival to guide me to the balloon operator who explained Read more”
