Leave the hustle and bustle of Barcelona behind and join this early-morning hot-air balloon flight at only 30-45 minutes away from the city. A hot-air balloon ride is the best way to capture outstanding views of Catalonia from heights of up to 3,000 feet (900 meters). Prepare for an exhilarating flight as you take off and begin to enjoy the sense of freedom and tranquility of floating through the air, you'll be airborne between 1 and 1.5 hours before landing for a sumptuous Champagne brunch.

Our ballooning flights include an optional pick-up in Barcelona city centre and roundtrip transfer to the flying area. Want a longer or more intimate experience? Select a 2-hour flight to spend longer in the air or upgrade to a private flight plus the pilot.

  • It’s a one hour balloon ride

    It’s a one hour balloon ride. We arranged for the Barcelona pickup, transported an hour away, to grab a coffee while waiting for the team to finish the balloon prep. Did the one hour hot air balloon ride, first time ever-so it was fun as a one time thing. Picked up in a field, a quick stop for coffee, then transported the hour back to Barcelona. Simple in nature, recommended for first timers.

    First balloon experience, a childhood dream come true! Pilot Santi has a great look and is greatly friendly. Drinking bubbles is a great way to finish this activity. It's worth getting up before the rooster!

    The Hot Air Balloon experience was a nice break for the crowds on Barcelona. The team taking us on the Hot Air Balloon ride were professional, kind and very skilled.

    Trip never saw Monserrat & I wouldn’t have picked it if it wasn’t mentioned as a viewpoint. Overall it was a nice experience and nice people but I wouldn’t have picked this and it also should be mentioned that when you land you have to wait while they pack up the balloon and then they make the participants help back up this heavy balloon and lift it onto the truck. Too expensive of a trip to not have seen what was promised and have to do the work.
