Full description

The Adventure package turns a balloon flight into a full morning in the desert. After the shared hotel pickup and tea or coffee at the launch site, you fly for 40 to 60 minutes with a falcon show, weather permitting.

Once you land, the desert activities begin. You get about 20 minutes of dune bashing, a 150 cc quad bike ride of about 20 minutes in a limited area, and short horse and camel rides inside the camp. A buffet breakfast is served at the camp.

Everything together takes about 5 to 6 hours from pickup to drop-off, and a soft copy flying certificate is emailed to you.

This is the best fit for active travellers and groups who want more than the flight alone. As with the other packages, a private vehicle within Dubai can be arranged for an extra cost.

Book with the form on this page or on WhatsApp, and our team will confirm your pickup details afterwards. Our cancellation schedule applies to any changes, and anything not shown in the inclusions is an extra.

Balloon flights depend on weather and on the pilot's judgement, so the take-off time and flight length can change on the day. Wear comfortable layers and closed shoes, bring a camera, and tell our team about any health concerns, pregnancy or mobility needs when booking so we can confirm the rules for your flight. Hotel pickup is shared unless you pay for a private vehicle.
