Overview

Breathtaking Balloon Flights along the Algarvean Coast.
In the Algarve, due to the geographical limitations, we fly smaller balloons with a maximum capacity of 6 -10 passengers per balloon, thus offering a more personal service catered for your needs.
With no ties, destination and time limitations we ride the winds of the barrocal valleys in the western Algarve or the warmer breezes of the rolling hills of the Baixo Alentejo.
Travelling at the same speed as the wind you will enjoy a sensation of unique privilege and experience absolute silence before returning back into the loving arms of mother earth.
Whether a birthday, anniversary, important occasion or even a “must do” … we promise all our passengers a wonderful time! ​
​Balloon flights in Portugal can be flown all year round and the most stable meteorological conditions are at sunrise.
The meteorological conditions will determine if the flight goes ahead.
Weight limitation of 100kg ... a surcharge is available

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
