Characteristics of hot-air ballooning in Ibiza
Balloon flights generally take place first thing in the morning, when the weather conditions are more favourable, with cooler temperatures and calmer winds.
The flight pilot will begin to inflate the balloon and set the burners so that, once in a vertical position, you can start your adventure. From here, the balloon will rise gently and you will float gently in the wind.
There are different companies in Ibiza that organise balloon flights, and although each one organises the activity in its own way, all the flights tend to have fairly similar characteristics.
The flight usually lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, and many of them include a glass of cava and breakfast after the flight. It is also quite common to participate in the previous manoeuvre of assembly and preparation of the balloon which usually lasts about 30 minutes if you wish to do so.
Recommendations for the flight
Ballooning is an absolutely safe activity. Despite being so, there are a series of recommendations that will make you enjoy this experience more comfortably.
The flights are not suitable for pregnant women and are not recommended for children under five years of age. Likewise, children under the age of twelve must always be accompanied by an adult. You should also bear in mind that each balloon can carry between four to six people.
As far as equipment is concerned, it is recommended that you wear comfortable shoes and clothes, as well as thick, warm clothing and sunglasses.
Of course, the flight will not take place if the weather conditions are not suitable.
Ibiza from the air
Seeing the island from the air is a truly fascinating experience. You will have the privilege of contemplating some of the most beautiful places in Ibiza, with beaches of crystal clear waters, impressive cliffs or areas full of Mediterranean forests.
From the centre of the island, the view will take you as far as the island of Formentera and, on clear days, as far south as Majorca.
The sensations you will experience are pleasant, without the sensation of vertigo, as there are no sudden movements and everything is stable, slow and smooth.
It is a perfect activity for celebrating special dates and events such as birthdays, anniversaries or even marriage proposals. In any case, a balloon ride in Ibiza will always be an unforgettable experience.
