Enjoy a day to remember with Adventure Balloons – the largest hot air balloon company in the UK since 1985!

It’s here at last, the latest London news from the UK’s favourite hot air balloon flights co-ordinator Adventure Balloons. With a big song and dance being made over the fact that we will not be taking bookings over London next year due to the Queens Diamond Jubilee and the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics (due to the protection of London’s airspace), all our customers decided to book their treat for this year instead! We have had an abundance of flights over the past few weeks and with just a month left to run, spaces are now limited!

Many of our customers put themselves down for our top value ‘standby’ vouchers which entitle them to a weekday morning flight from April-October. These time flexible customers enjoyed a champagne balloon ride over one of the greatest cities in the world and all for just £69 per person! The standby voucher is valid for 12 months and passengers will be called at any point where there is space available and the right weather conditions. We have flown 32 passengers last Friday and another 15 this Tuesday thanks to the list, our first flight leaving from Redhill and the second from London for a landing near Watford.

If you’d like to participate in the London fun book quick as tickets are limited and remember, London is not on the horizon for next year, so make the most of it now. Book online or call us on 01252 844222 where we can answer all your questions.

Taking a hot air balloon flight is a great experience and taking your own photos will help you remember the day as well as having something to show your family and friends. Adventure Balloons also offers in-flight photography that you can purchase to give you an additional view of your day.

Adventure Balloons was one of the first passenger balloon companies to offer in-flight photography for its hot air balloon flights and has one of the best selling digital SLR cameras, the Canon EOS400D which provides our passengers with the highest quality pictures.

Check out the picture below for a preview of the photography taken by our sister balloon. An in-flight photograph costs just £15 and can be ordered when you book your flight or on the day of your flight and is a great souvenir for a great experience.

Taking a hot air balloon ride is a magical experience and can be shared with your friends and family by taking some aerial photography of your flight. During the flight, the balloon can travel between 2 and 20 miles depending on the wind speed and can reach a high of up to 3000 feet, making it a great place to capture some remarkable pictures.

The balloons basket can be rotated by the pilot to give everyone a 360 degrees view of their surroundings including aerial views of town and villages and the beautiful British countryside. Morning flights are particularly good for viewing wildlife, where you can see them from this unique perspective.

A hot air balloon flight will be remembered for a lifetime and taking photographs means that you friends and family can enjoy the experience as well.

Adventure Balloons are proud to offer their balloon flight photography service. We know how important it is for people to keep their balloon flight experience as a valuable memento. Adventure Balloons have invested time and effort researching the best camera product to use, making sure your photographs will be of the highest quality and great to show both friends and family.

Take a look at our passenger balloon flight photography. The camera used in this picture is Canon and we ourselves are pretty impressed with the results.

Adventure Balloons believe that every balloon flight should be both memorable and a truly exhilarating experience, what better way to store you in flight adventure than with one of the best cameras on the market today.
