Sicily Hot Air Balloon Ride: Fly Over Mount Etna or Heart of Sicily

Overview

Balloon flight to the center of Sicily or Mount Etna offers breathtaking views from above. Experience an unforgettable journey over Sicily's stunning landscapes from a unique perspective: a private hot air balloon flight.
Guests can choose to soar over Mount Etna, Europe's largest active volcano, or drift above the beautiful heart of Sicily. Floating silently over forests, towns, and lakes at a low altitude creates a magical experience unlike any other. The balloon moves with the wind, and the pilot adjusts altitude to navigate.
This approximately 3-hour experience includes a pre-flight briefing where the pilot explains balloon assembly and flight dynamics. The hot air balloon is a Kubicek BB37D, Marche I-SICL, with a maximum capacity of four people. The experience includes a flight certificate and transportation from the landing point back to the starting point, as well as a celebratory toast upon landing. As the first Sicilian operator authorized by ENAC for commercial balloon flights, they offer optional starting points based on space availability.
