A hot air balloon is an aircraft consisting of a balloon and a wicker basket for carrying passengers. A burner placed at the base of the balloon is responsible for heating the air inside and allowing the balloon to take off by taking advantage of Archimedes’ principle.
Once airborne, the hot air balloon follows the trajectory of the wind. Precisely because of this, the path of the balloon is not exactly predictable and each time it holds surprises, making the flight a unique and unrepeatable experience. Flights generally last 1 hour and take place at dawn or dusk, when temperatures and currents are most favorable. You can fly year-round, weather permitting.
Those who want to carry out hot air balloon flight in Apulia can choose from several take-off points. Flights take place mainly inland with the possibility of discovering picturesque and little-known places compared to coastal ones. This is the case of the Itria Valley, in the province of Brindisi, and Terra delle Gravine, in the province of Taranto.
One of the most popular hot air balloon flights in Puglia is in Gravina, in the province of Bari. You fly over the town and the surrounding area, characterized by an extensive rocky canyon and the nature of the Alta Murgia National Park.
When wind conditions allow it, you can fly in a hot air balloon over Castel del Monte, in Andria, and observe from above the grand octagonal fortress that rises in the green Murgia plateau. All flights mentioned can be conducted privately or shared.
Prices for a balloon flight in Apulia depend on location and type of experience. It ranges from €174 to €200 per person for a shared flight with other passengers. Private flights, on the other hand, charge around €400 per person. The participation fee includes insurance, flight certificate, return transfer, toast and/or tasting of typical products.
A scenic flight can be a special experience to give to your better half. The romantics should consider booking a hot air balloon for two for a high-altitude marriage proposal. But there is no need to wait for a quite unique moment to indulge in the pleasure of a walk in the sky. A hot air balloon flight is an experience to try or give as a gift for any occasion!

Today we made our first balloon flight accompanied by Aldo, Francesco and Emanuele. Friendly, helpful and professional. We had to change date and destination because of the winds and weather, but we really found a lot of helpfulness. Thank you so much for this exceptional experience, definitely to be repeated!!!
