Description:

Blooners 2000 Limited offers hot air balloon flights in the Thames Valley area. We specialise in giving passengers a real insight into Hot Air Ballooning which means we fly in much smaller balloons than most other operators.

The Chilterns and Berkshire Downs over which we fly, provide spectacular views and with few air space restrictions allow for a very pleasant and relaxed flight. You can see more information about the launch sites we use by clicking the "launch sites" button on the navigation bar on the left.

Our flights last for around one hour in the air although it is best to leave three or four hours to allow for both the launch and retrieve. We fly throughout the year, although, as we are dependant on the weather, flights in the winter are less common.

We try to make everyone welcome, flights are therefore, deliberately informal and passengers are invited to take part in laying out and inflating the balloon and packing it away afterwards. There is no obligation to help and we are quite happy if you prefer to stand back and just savour the experience instead!
