There is nothing more magical than a trip in a hot air balloon.
Experience the truly unique feeling as you float majestically up to the sky. The peace and tranquillity is matched only by the spectacular thrill of seeing the world from this birds-eye perspective for the very first time.

Be it a gift or indulgence, this is an adventure everyone dreams of experiencing.

Courageous or faint-hearted, the breathtaking excitement of a hot air balloon flight is the experience of a life time you'll long remember
and treasure.

H.O.T. Air Balloons was formed in 1994 with its first four-man balloon flying over Henley on Thames. I took on the ownership of the company in 2000; not the most auspicious time to buy a ballooning company, as just before the main season was to start the foot and mouth crisis began and we were grounded for over a year! It was a very difficult start, but despite all the initial problems my enthusiasm is undiminished.

In the time that I have been running H.O.T. Air Balloons, the company has gained a reputation for friendliness and customer care of which I am very proud.

We think ballooning is great fun, and we do our utmost to ensure that our passengers have the most enjoyable and memorable experience possible.

I have flown in various countries, amongst others Italy, Syria and Switzerland but the anticipation and excitement before each flight over the beautiful scenery of my home ground, still knows no bounds.
