Pickup Locations & Times
We have a few places in Vilnius, where balloons can start to fly, which place will be we will know just a flight day. if the passengers choose an evening flight, they will be informed on the morning of the flight about the meeting place and exact time. In Vilnius, we usually start from Vingis Park or the meadow near the White Bridge. It is really easy to find it in the city itself. If passengers prefer, a driver can pick them up from their hotel in the city center, take them to the take-off point and bring them back after the flight. Flight in Trakai: you can come yourself to the meeting place in Trakai, we can pick you up from the hotel or in Vilnius near ERGO - Geležinis Vilkas street 6 A. if the passengers chose a morning flight, all details will be told from the evening. Since 2019 hot air balloon flights in Vilnius are limited by traffic control service because of the expansion of Vilnius Airport and air traffic around it. If the permission to overfly Vilnius is not granted to hot air balloons, balloon flights are automatically moved to Trakai (25 km from Vilnius) or Vilnius surroundings. In this case we will pick you up from Vilnius to the new flight place and bring you back after the flight. We will give you the exact information on the day of the flight. We will contact you again 12-24 hours before your flight to confirm the exact meeting time and place. Please check your mobile phone and e-mail then.

Great guide, well maintained equipment, great overall experience
Excellent experience. A professional and helpful team, and truly outstanding pilot who made us feel sage throughout the flight. Smooth takeoff and landing, pleasant surprises after landing. Highly recommended!
Everything was great. We flew from Trakai. The team was doing a great job in the air and on the ground as well. Strongly recommend.
One of those experiences you’ll remember for the rest of your life. If someone had asked me before the flight whether a hot-air balloon could really move me that deeply, I probably would have smiled and said, “Well, it’ll be beautiful.” Early morning. It’s barely light, the air is cool and crisp. We stand outside as the team inflates the enormous balloon. As it slowly rises and takes shape, your heart starts beating a little faster. And when we finally lift off the ground… everything goes quiet. The earth falls away beneath us, and we rise into such a peaceful, gentle height that time seems to stand still. The views? Impossible to describe in words. We can see rivers, villages, roads - everything from a perspective you could never experience from a plane or a mountain. It’s not a feeling of fear, but of complete peace and freedom. As if you’ve become a bird. The pilot is a true professional - calm, attentive, and with a great sense of humour. He not only guides the flight safely, but also shares interesting stories and facts, making you feel like you’re not simply a passenger, but a part of the magic. After the flight, there has also a traditional champagne ceremony -beautiful, warm, and full of meaning. Almost like an official initiation into the “hot-air balloon club” :) If you’re wondering whether it’s worth it - stop wondering. This isn’t just an activity. It’s an emotion. It’s that moment when you realise how beautiful the world looks from above, and how small some of your everyday worries can seem. I also want to give a special mention to the ground crew. From the beginning of our journey, through inflating the balloon, the flight, landing, and packing everything away, they worked smoothly, quickly, and with a smile. Their professionalism and care allowed us to simply enjoy the experience without worrying about a thing. True team players, without whom this experience wouldn’t have been so perfect. THANK YOU! I wholeheartedly recommend it!!! :)
