A wonderful experience
We went on a hot air balloon flight and it was a wonderful experience. Flying in a hot air balloon was something I had always wanted to do, but I was also a little nervous thinking about being so high above the ground and wondering if it might be scary. In reality, it was the complete opposite: the feeling is incredibly peaceful, as if you are gently floating through the sky. We flew over the Osona region, less than an hour from Barcelona, and the views were simply breathtaking. Seeing the landscape from above is a unique experience that is hard to put into words. Quico is also a very friendly person and reflects the great atmosphere of the whole team. During the flight, he explains everything you can see and points out the different landmarks and scenery, which makes the experience even more interesting and special. I would recommend it to everyone, especially those looking to disconnect, relax, and enjoy something different. Up there, for a little while, it feels as if everything stops and you can simply enjoy the moment. Many thanks to the whole team for making this such a memorable experience. We will definitely be back!

Highly recommended experience
Hot air balloon ride over the Cerdanya with incredible views and a lot of calm, undoubtedly a highly recommended experience. The balloon pilot was very professional; we felt very calm at all times, and they know a lot. Ground staff were very nice as well. If I were to do it again, I would definitely do it with them.
M
Fantastic experience!
A highly recommended experience. The entire team is approachable, friendly, and professional. From the moment we made the reservation, our pickup, the flight, and the attractions during the balloon ride, every single explanation during the flight to an exquisite farewell. Thank you, Vol Aventura, for reminding us that the goal is to have things to tell and not things to show!
P
Perfect experience with the kids, a whole trip!
I traveled with Quico and Benjamin on a flight with my partner and my kids. The truth is that it was a wonderful experience and the kids had a great time. At first, they were amazed, but Quico is so funny that in the end, they surrendered to him. Ultimately, a wonderful experience with truly professional and kind people.

Nothing that I imagined.
An absolutely incredible experience. Flying in a hot air balloon over the Vic Plain at dawn has been something difficult to describe in words. The views of Osona, Montseny, and the landscapes surrounding Vic are spectacular and convey a unique sense of peace. The team was very professional and friendly from the very first moment, explaining the entire process and making us feel secure at all times. Additionally, participating in the preparation of the balloon made the experience even more special. The flight was smooth, calm, and filled with unforgettable moments. Without a doubt, an activity that I recommend to anyone who wants to experience a different adventure in Catalonia. I would do it again without thinking twice!
