Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Flight in Algarve
Description
Breathtaking Balloon Flights along the Algarvean Coast. In the Algarve, due to the geographical limitations, we fly smaller balloons with a maximum capacity of 6 -10 passengers per balloon, thus offering a more personal service catered for your needs. With no ties, destination and time limitations we ride the winds of the barrocal valleys in the western Algarve or the warmer breezes of the rolling hills of the Baixo Alentejo. Travelling at the same speed as the wind you will enjoy a sensation of unique privilege and experience absolute silence before returning back into the loving arms of mother earth. Whether a birthday, anniversary, important occasion or even a “must do” … we promise all our passengers a wonderful time! Balloon flights in Portugal can be flown all year round and the most stable meteorological conditions are at sunrise. The meteorological conditions will determine if the flight goes ahead. Weight limitation of 100kg ... a surcharge is available

Wonderful experience from start to finish.. Helena and her gang really know their stuff and the views were fantastic 😍 felt so safe and would definitely recommend 👌🏽 .. little lunch afterwards with everyone was a really nice touch. Worth every penny 🙌🏼
What a superb co-pilot you were. The vibe in the basket was surreal ... look forward in our flight paths crossing again. Helena and team
Amazing experience! It was beautiful from start to finish. The pilot and crew were friendly and awesome in every way. We even got pictures and videos from them!
With such changing weather it was awesome to fly you. Happy ventures, Helena and team
From beginning to end this was a fantastic experience. Communication was excellent with Helena, we were due to fly Wednesday but weather was not suitable, rescheduled to Friday. It is an early start but so well worth it. Hot drinks and cookies on arrival, excellent instruction and safety talk before take off. A very relaxed vibe, Helena & Daniel were excellent, very smooth take off and felt so safe. Beautiful views, the wind didn’t take us exactly where Helena wanted to go towards the coast but we did have a view of the sea. Lovely soft landing. Had a lovely glass of champagne or orange juice afterwards with a lovely spread of crackers section of cheeses etc. Again such a relaxed vibe, lovely to have a chance to chat to Helena and her team and other passengers. A bucket list item ticked off! Great experience and would highly recommend.
The magic of riding the winds ... never know where we end up. Lovely to have you onboard. Helena and team
A fabulous experience with a fabulous team! All safe, with smiles from ear to ear! A remarkable welcome! Thank you for this beautiful moment!! 🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Avec des passagers aussi joyeux, difficile de ne pas sourire. À la prochaine aventure ! Helena & team
It was a great experience. A very comfortable flight with our pilot Helena. Everything was well organized, safe and we enjoyed it! Definitely recommended.
Danke... es ist schön, Passagiere zu haben, die Improvisation zu schätzen wissen. Fliegen ohne Ziel. Helena & Team
Fantastic and really helpful. Made it a really inclusive experience for disabilities. Safe, serene and sensational . Thank you!
You rock
It was our first balloon tour. Our respect was therefore quite great. But it was great. Helena, our pilot, was very experienced and reassuring. The take-off and landing went smoothly and very quietly, the flight was just to enjoy. Afterwards we had a small, hearty breakfast and a flight certificate. Many thanks to the whole team for this wonderful experience. Roland and Petra
Super day with superb passengers.... thank you. Helena and team
Absolutely fabulous experience. Helene is just so amazing. Her experience shines through and makes everyone feel very comfortable! Teaches as much about ballooning as you can soak in and tells of the beautiful sights of the Algarve. I can’t say enough great things! The ground crew was fun and helpful as well, pre and post ride snacks were fantastic!
Thank you kindly. That was a super flight for end of Winter. Happy travels and look forward in seeing you in the future. Helena & team
It was all wonderful! We were really excited about the whole process for our balloon ride, everything worked out great. Definitely recommended to experience this with Helena.
Thanks .... hope you have more speed on your next flight. It was nice flying high with you at 3300ft. Happy holidays. Helena
An amazing experience with Helena and her newly qualified son Daniel. Very professional and I felt very safe and cared for. Helena even bought along a ladder to allow easier access! Thankfully I didn’t need it. It was a dream come true for me and exceeded all my expectations, thank you!
