Step Into The Experience
 
Drift peacefully above the historic city of York on an unforgettable hot air balloon flight that offers panoramic views of the Yorkshire countryside, ancient landmarks, and the winding River Ouse. As the sun rises or sets, you’ll float effortlessly through the skies, taking in the cathedral spires, charming villages, and rolling green fields that make this region so iconic.
 
Whether it’s your first balloon ride or a bucket-list adventure, this is a truly magical way to see York from above.
 
 
What to Expect
 
Your journey begins with a warm welcome from the ground crew and a safety briefing from your experienced pilot. You’ll watch as the balloon is inflated, then climb aboard the basket for a gentle ascent into the sky. As you rise above York, you’ll be treated to uninterrupted views of the Minster, medieval city walls, and the patchwork of fields beyond.
 
Flights typically last around one hour, depending on wind conditions, and every moment is filled with awe as you glide silently over the landscape. After landing, you’ll enjoy a traditional toast to celebrate your flight and receive a commemorative certificate to mark the occasion.
