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?

Beautiful private balloon ride over Catalonia for our honeymoon. Would highly recommend this for anyone.
Thank you very much for your kinds words and recommendation. Have a great day!
Perfectly organized! Fantastic view!
Thank you very much for your nice review. Enjoy your day!
Incredible and worth it. This was an absolute treat to get to do! I did this with 3 friends, the basket fits 8 people so we were there with some strangers but we all had a great time. The early wake up time is worth it. In the HOT august city air, stepping out of the van into the more moderate country side was a sigh of relief. The breakfast place didn’t have much selection, but worked for a coffee and pastry. Everyone was very well knowledgeable and we felt safe and in good hands the whole time. We were in the air just over 1.5 hours. It’s truly breathtaking. It is a luxury to get to experience but worth every penny.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We are thrilled to hear that you and your friends had such an incredible time. We are also glad you felt safe and well-taken care of by our knowledgeable crew. Thank you for choosing our company. We hope to welcome you all back for another flight in the future!
