Active Adventure
We provide hot air balloon flights at only 30´ away from Barcelona city, and all over Catalonia, for particulars, groups and companies. Do you want to offer an original gift? Offer the unique experience of floating in the air ... Discover our different flying formulas : discovery flight, private / vip flight, families flight, adventure balloon flight and the Pyrenees local or crossing balloon flight. EXCLUSIVE : we provide a service of pick up and transfer from and to Barcelona city centre !
A panoramic view from the ballon : you will discover from the air amazing panoramas and landscapes, flying over unique points of interest in the Montseny Natural Park region. By clear sky, you will have the opportunity to admire the Montserrat Picks, Barcelona itself and the Mediterranean sea.
The DISCOVERY balloon flight : with the discovery balloon ride, you share the flight with a maximum of 8 people in the basket. You live the adventure in family, friends or others passengers. The basket is big enough to make you feel at ease and totally secure. It is the ideal option for a first hot-air balloon flight, with a good price.
The PRIVATE balloon flight for 2 persons: The Private balloon ride option allows you to enjoy the flight with more intimacy. The balloon is completely yours. Being only 2 passengers in the basket will give you the opportunity to be taught by the pilot the basis of how to pilot a hot-air balloon and eventually the opportunity to pilot it yourself for a while. In that case, you will fly in a small-sized balloon.
The FAMILY balloon flight : The Family balloon ride option is very similar to the Discovery formula, but parents will have a discounted price if they come and fly with their children (6 to 12 y.o.). This is the best option for a first hot-air balloon flight in family.
The ADVENTURE balloon flight : For those who want to live more than a standard balloon ride, this flying formula is for you. We will fly during 2 hours over the Catalonian countryside and discover the beauty of the region and unknown landscapes. The take off site will remain secret until last moment... Awesome !
The PYRENEES CROSSING balloon flight : Probably one of the most impressive and unforgettable balloon flight you can make in a life : a balloon crossing over snowed mountains of the Pyrenees, ending with a cross country flight over Centric Catalonia before landing. This is a long flight in distance and duration, around 3 hours.
Option : transfer service from Barcelona city centre : We offer a transfer service from Barcelona city centre, pick up and drop off from the famous Plaza Catalonia. You will be driven in our 4x4 or Passengers van directly to the flying area. We can study a pick up service directly at your hotel or appartment, if centrally located and if we have few passengers to be picked up. Just inform us your hotel situation and name at moment of booking
