EXETER BALLOON FLIGHTS

Sitting on the banks of the River Exe, with a rich, diverse heritage, Exeter makes for an ideal launchpad for a hot air balloon flight over gorgeous Devon. As you rise up over the 2,000 year old city, it’s historic lineage becomes apparent.

With the breeze as your guide, drift over the surrounding countryside. With both Dartmoor and the shimmering Devon coast within striking distance, and a magical mix of old and new passing beneath you, your hot air adventure will create memories that quite simply, last a lifetime.

THINGS TO DO IN EXETER

With so much to see and do in Exeter, finding time will be your only issue! Start with a visit to the magnificent St Peter’s Cathedral with its two Norman towers – original pieces of the building that date back to 1133.

You’ve seen the city from above, now see it from below with a stroll around the medieval Underground Passages, or if you prefer the fresh air, head to the historic Quayside. There is also fantastic shopping, cultural treats and a vibrant arts scene to enjoy. So consider a free guided city tour (you’ll find the guides in red coats), that takes you round the best that Exeter has to offer, and will leave you with some great ideas of how to enjoy your stay.

Launch Site

EXETER BALLOONING LAUNCH SITE

Your voucher will provide you with a choice of multiple launch sites from surrounding regions or in Devon from which to get you aloft and if you either live in or are visiting Exeter, there is a launch site just 10 minutes from the city centre at the Honiton Park & Ride!

You can leave your car at the launch site as this is where your ballooning experience will finish.

Your unforgettable balloon ride will start with a full safety briefing, after which you you can help the team with the the inflating of the balloon if you wish – or kick back, soak up the atmosphere and let others do the hard work. But when it’s time, there is no escaping the collective excitement as the burners fire up and the balloon starts to prepare itself for taking you up, up and away on a ballooning adventure over Devon!

The Flight

DURING YOUR EXETER BALLOON RIDE

As you drift gently over Exeter and the Devon countryside there will be ample opportunity to take photographs from this unique vantage point. During your flight you are free to discuss how the balloon works with the pilot, who will also be pointing out the many points of interest that drift below you or rest gently on the horizon.

No two flights are the same, and as such any number of towns, villages and important landmarks could come into view – all of which create talking points for years to come.

Landing

YOUR EXETER BALLOON LANDING

After an unforgettable hour ballooning your pilot will begin your descent towards a gentle landing. Once back on the ground, and should you wish, you can help in packing away the envelope (that’s the official name for the fabric canopy).

With the balloon all packed away, you will be transferred back to your launch site where you can sip on the fine stuff and raise a toast to an unforgettable adventure hot air ballooning over Devon.
