Description

Enjoy the breathtaking views from our hot air balloon at dawn or sunset. Discover the sights and sounds of Ghent awakening and be on the first row for a spectacular sunrise above Unesco Heritage.

You’ll start your day with an optional pick up from your hotel or pick up point. We usually meet 30 minutes before sunrise. The meeting time depends on the season.

Once you arrive at the launch site, your experienced pilot, Kenian, will give you a safety briefing. With over 900 hours of experience in more than 15 countries, we can promise you’re in safe hands.

Once in the air, we'll discover the city of Ghent from above. After a gentle flight of one hour, we celebrate your brave courage with a glass of Champagne and a small pastry breakfast.

We end our activity by returning you safely, with plenty of memories, to our launch field or pickup point.

Ballooning is our real passion. This is why we choose quality and a personal approach, using only small hot air balloons (2–8 passengers).
