Ibiza Hot Air Balloon Ride over Pine Forest and Coast

Ibiza is small enough to take in whole from a basket, which is the argument for going up at all. It is the largest of the Pityusic islands, though that is a relative measure. The group meets on Avenida Isidoro Macabich at the time given on the booking, and a 4x4 drives everyone out to the launch field. Which field that is depends on the wind that morning, so no two flights follow the same line. Time in the air runs between 50 minutes and an hour, weather permitting. Below is the wooded interior, pine across most of what you can see, and then one coastline or the other, east or west, according to where the wind carries the balloon. San Antonio is among the places visible from above. When the light works out there is sunrise over the coast, though that is not something anyone can promise in advance. The balloon comes down in a designated landing area, where a glass of cava is waiting. After that the group moves to a local cafe for breakfast: tomato toast, butter and ham. An English speaking escort is with you the whole way, and you are back at the meeting point roughly three hours after pickup, holding a certificate with your name on it. The price is 250 euros. The rating sits at 5.0, from three reviews, which is a small sample worth reading in context.
