How hot air balloon rental works
The hot air balloon rental flight is based on the principle of heating air inside the envelope using propane-powered burners. This simple but efficient system allows for smooth and controlled ascent, providing a safe and relaxing flight experience. The professional pilot controls altitude and direction, adapting to air currents to create a memorable journey.

Step-by-step flight experience
Your adventure begins in the Mihăilești Lake area, where the team prepares the balloon for takeoff. The inflation process takes about 20-30 minutes, during which you can observe preparations and receive safety instructions.
Takeoff is smooth and gradual, and in the first minutes you'll feel the unique sensation of rising above the ground. During the approximately one-hour flight, you'll admire varied landscapes: Mihăilești Lake, surrounding hills and forests, agricultural fields, and in good visibility conditions, even Bucharest in the distance.
Landing is also controlled and smooth, followed by balloon recovery procedures. The support team comes to pick you up with the recovery vehicle and accompanies you back to the departure point, where your cars are waiting.
