Overview

Breathtaking Balloon Flights along the Algarvean Coast.
In the Algarve, due to the geographical limitations, we fly smaller balloons with a maximum capacity of 6 -10 passengers per balloon, thus offering a more personal service catered for your needs.
With no ties, destination and time limitations we ride the winds of the barrocal valleys in the western Algarve or the warmer breezes of the rolling hills of the Baixo Alentejo.
Travelling at the same speed as the wind you will enjoy a sensation of unique privilege and experience absolute silence before returning back into the loving arms of mother earth.
Whether a birthday, anniversary, important occasion or even a “must do” … we promise all our passengers a wonderful time! ​
​Balloon flights in Portugal can be flown all year round and the most stable meteorological conditions are at sunrise.
The meteorological conditions will determine if the flight goes ahead.
Weight limitation of 100kg ... a surcharge is available
