Practical info:
We strongly advise you to plan your return to the ground after your hot air balloon experience. Your friends and family can follow our 4x4 vehicle, which remains in contact with the balloon throughout the flight. This way, they can pick you up at the landing site, which is usually about 15 km from the launch site and is not known in advance.
Transport solutions for your comfort
If you truly have no transport option, don’t worry! For flights in the Namur region, we can bring your driver (the person driving your vehicle) back to the launch site after the flight. We do everything we can to ensure your experience is pleasant and worry-free.
