Experience a breathtaking morning from the basket of a hot air balloon tour over Avon Valley. Arriving at Northam Airfield in the early morning, you'll be greeted with hot tea and coffee as your pilot briefs you on the day ahead. You'll then head to the launch site, where you can help with the exciting process of inflating the balloon. Once everything is set, step aboard and prepare for a magical flight that begins just before dawn. As the balloon lifts off, you'll peacefully float above rolling hills, patchwork farms, winding streams, and tranquil forests, watching as the world below awakens with the first light of day. After landing, you'll assist in packing up the balloon before the retrieve crew whisks you back to Northam.
