Our trip last Saturday was absolutely marvellous from start to finish. What an amazing and truly memorable experience. Everything was superbly organised and we felt 100% safe at all times, thanks to the skills of Chris the pilot and his colleagues on the ground. We will not hesitate to recommend Eastern Balloons to all. For anyone thinking of booking a trip we’d say just go ahead-you won’t regret it!

Hi Jan and Chris
Thank you so much for last night’s flight. It was amazing and surpassed all my expectations of a balloon flight. I sat and looked at all my photos on my computer when I got home and re-lived the experience A friend who watched us go had emailed some of her photos of the balloon going up, so I’ve got those as well. Please pass on my thanks to all concerned for a most wonderful experience.
Sincerely Linda

Dear Chris and Jan,
Thank you for a most interesting and enjoyable trip in your hot air balloon. I found it fascinating the procedure of inflating the balloon and of course the flight itself was super. I am not a great one for heights but I have to say I enjoyed every moment of the whole experience.
