KENT BALLOONING – UP, UP AND AWAY!

Across the district, Lympne, Romney Marsh

If you fancy an aerial view of the stunning Kent countryside and coastline, plus animal-spotting at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park, then Kent Ballooning is for you.

Climb aboard the wicker basket, thrill as the burners lift the balloon gently off the ground and enjoy the ride as you rise up into the skies of Kent. With only the occasional roar of the burners you can savour the silence… and then toast your safe arrival back on land with a glass of champagne or a Spitfire beer from local brewers Shepherd Neame.

Flights are scheduled at sunrise or sunset when the air is still and calm, allowing you to enjoy this unique experience.

Kent Ballooning was set up in 1990 and is run by Michael and Louisa Spice.  Michael is the chief pilot, a UK balloon pilot instructor, and also holds balloon licences in Australia, the USA and Canada. Having lived in Kent for over 40 years he can point out all the local landmarks and places of historical interest!  Louisa deals with all the bookings and has a similar level of local knowledge, making personal service a key element in creating a truly memorable and luxurious experience.

As you might expect, balloon flights are at the mercy of the weather – but no need to worry, Kent Ballooning offers full weather insurance in case it turns out inclement.

And remember that glass of champagne or pint of Spitfire?  It’s not just the one, but rather a couple as you browse through the photos of your trip, recorded on board!
