Shared balloon rides in Taunton, Bath & Exeter

A hot air balloon ride is the perfect way to celebrate those special occasions and is an activity that features on nearly everyone's bucket list.

We now offer shared hot air balloon rides from Taunton & South Somerset, Bath & North East Somerset, and Exeter & Tiverton. Private experiences are available throughout the South West.

Whatever the occasion, join us for a truly unique and memorable balloon experience. Whether you wish to soar over Devon and explore Mother Nature's playground, drift gently over the UK's only city designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or lose yourself in the stunning countryside that surrounds Taunton, take flight with Fly Away Ballooning.

Allow us to take you on your own adventure and share this unique experience with your partner, friends, or family.

Your flight will have a maximum of eight people, so it will feel personal and comfortable compared to other operators that pack you into large baskets with sixteen others.

The whole experience lasts three to four hours and begins from one of our chosen sites in your preferred area. The launch site is selected the day before, depending on wind speed and direction, to provide you with the longest, safest, and most enjoyable flight.

Feel free to get involved and help with the setup and inflation, or stand back and watch as the hot air balloon takes shape. Once it's time to hop into the basket, many of our passengers are surprised by the relaxing sensation of taking off. You will drift into the sky and move with the wind, creating a sense of stillness in the balloon as you match the wind speed.

A balloon flight is incomparable to any other form of flying. Its slow and serene nature, along with panoramic views in the open air, makes it truly unique. Whether it’s drifting over the rolling hills, picturesque valleys, and timeless countryside of Somerset and Devon, or rising above England's finest Georgian city to explore Bath from the unique vantage point of a sport that has defied time and technology, your experience will be spectacular and memorable in its own way.

You will be in the air for around an hour, a wonderful time to relax, enjoy the views, take photos, and fully embrace the experience. Morning and evening flights are equally magical, and we have a selection of complimentary drinks to top it off.

Whether you live in the South West and want to see your local area from a new perspective, or perhaps you are visiting the area on holiday, joining Fly Away Ballooning on one of our balloon rides is a memorable activity to cherish for a lifetime.
