🌅 Experience the Magic

As the ground slowly fades away, Sofia and the surrounding mountains open up in every direction. This hot air balloon experience is carefully timed for the golden morning light, when the air is calmest and the views are most spectacular. Unlike standard city tours, a sunrise balloon flight offers a unique perspective of the Stara Planina range and the misty valleys below. Whether you choose a tethered lift or a full free-flight, you are participating in a tradition of Bulgarian aviation excellence with a certified crew and over 8,000 successful stories.

🛡️ Safety & Professionalism

We work with certified pilots with over 10 years of experience and a zero-incident record. Equipment undergoes rigorous daily checks, and because ballooning is 100% weather-dependent, we monitor conditions up to the last minute. Your safety and the quality of your experience are never compromised.

📸 Free 4K Action Video Included

Your entire flight is captured with a 4K action camera — from inflation to landing — so you can relive every second, share it with friends, and prove to everyone back home that yes, you actually did it. Included with every flight, at no extra cost.
