Where adventure meets tranquility
There’s something timeless—almost surreal—about floating gently above rolling hills, winding rivers, and patchwork countryside. No engines. No noise. Just the occasional roar of the burner, and the quiet awe of soaring in a hot air balloon over Somerset, Devon, Bath, or even the vibrant skies of Bristol.
At Fly Away Ballooning, we specialise in turning moments into memories. Whether you're celebrating something special or simply curious to see the world from a different perspective, our balloon rides offer an experience that’s both exhilarating and deeply peaceful.
What we offer: private, shared, unforgettable
We’re a small, family-run business—and that matters. It means you get a personal experience. A familiar face. And a crew that genuinely cares about the magic of your flight.
We offer:
- Shared flights – Meet new people and share the wonder together.
- Private flights – Just you and your chosen few. Perfect for romantic gestures, surprise proposals, or milestone moments.
- Exclusive events – Including flights during the famous Bristol Balloon Fiesta, where the sky becomes a kaleidoscope of colour and shape.
From takeoff to landing (with a celebratory glass of fizz to toast your journey), every step is designed to feel seamless and special.
Where we fly
Our launch sites are carefully chosen for their breathtaking views and unique charm:
- Bath – Glide over historic rooftops, the Roman Baths, and lush Georgian crescents with bath balloon flights.
- Somerset – Think misty mornings, green hills, and hidden villages. A gentle, scenic joyride in the skies.
- Devon – Rugged coastlines, moorland expanses, and winding country lanes—it’s wild and picturesque all at once.
- Bristol – Especially during the fiesta, where the experience becomes something truly epic.
We only fly when it’s safe, and only when the skies promise something special. So if the weather's not right, we'll work with you to reschedule—because this isn’t just a ride, it’s a memory in the making.
A gift like no other
Looking for a unique present? Whether it's a birthday, anniversary, or just because—this is more than a gift. It’s a story. One that begins at sunrise, floats with the clouds, and ends with feet back on the ground, heart still in the sky.
We offer personalised vouchers too. Something tangible to hold onto until the day of the flight.
Why choose us?
We’re not a faceless corporation. We’re passionate pilots, experienced crew, and locals who love this land from above and below. Our approach is grounded in:
- Safety first – Fully licensed pilots and aircraft
- Personal touch – From your first inquiry to post-flight photos
- Sustainability and respect – For landowners, nature, and the skies we fly through
