About Baloons

Hot air balloon flights can be held early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when weather conditions are still. Basket of our balloon accommodates two passengers. Passengers are obliged to help in handling the balloon before the start and after landing. These are simple duties. Passenger has to be aware that the pilot can call off the flight due to weather conditions. Pleasure of flying is strictly associated with current weather. Believe me that these unforgettable experiences are worth waiting for.

Who we are

We are of different ages, amongst us are pilots and people who are dreaming about flying in the future. It doesn't bother us to spend free time together.

What we are doing

We are participating in balloon races in Poland and around the world. We are organizing our own championships and we are accompanying various cultural events. In free time we are using every opportunity to fly.
