What to Expect from a Hot Air Balloon Ride with Spildooren Ballooning?
Would you like to know what it feels like to take a hot air balloon ride? You’ve come to the right place at Spildooren Ballooning. Our experienced team guides you through this adventure from start to finish. The world looks entirely different when you’re floating above it.
As soon as the balloon lifts off, a sense of calm sets in. During the flight, we gently follow the wind’s path, allowing you to completely unwind and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. Even the most anxious passengers find peace in the air. And since the balloon never touches the ground during flight, there’s no risk of vertigo.
The entire hot air balloon experience takes about three to four hours. At the launch site, one of our crew members welcomes you and escorts you to the right balloon. Our pilot will then give a detailed safety briefing, explaining the dos and don’ts during the flight. This is also the perfect time to ask any questions you may have.
Meanwhile, our experienced balloon team prepares the balloon for takeoff.
Once everything is ready, you can board the basket and prepare for lift-off. During the flight, the pilot will provide extra insights about the surrounding landscape and local landmarks. The landing position is also reviewed again mid-flight. After landing, we celebrate the ride with a traditional champagne toast at one of the most idyllic locations.
