Hot Air Balloon Rides Over Kent

Web Links Location Times
Active and Outdoors

A hot air balloon ride over Kent will give you breath-taking views over the “Garden of England”.  

Launching from The Hop Farm in Tonbridge, you’ll have the chance to help prepare the balloon for flight before drifting skywards, with the seemingly endless countryside opening up in every direction. Keep an eye out for the meandering River Medway or the picturesque Tudeley Woods nature reserve. Or you may even find yourself drifting majestically over the famous spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells itself. You’ll be in the air for around an hour.

After landing, you can help deflate the balloon before joining your fellow passengers for a prosecco toast to round off the incredible experience in style. After this you’ll be transported back to the launch site and back to your cars.

A Kent balloon ride is an amazing experience not to be missed and makes an incredible gift idea.
