What our passengers say
An experience that exceeded our expectations
“What a fantastic experience! We were welcomed so warmly, and everything was explained calmly and clearly. Once up in the air, it was all about enjoying the silence and the beautiful landscape. The Westhoek really is stunning from above.”
Perfect for a special occasion

So peaceful, yet so special

Enjoyed every moment from start to finish
“What an experience! Maarten was a really pleasant pilot and gave interesting explanations along the way. We had beautiful weather and could see for miles. A balloon ride over the Westhoek is something everyone should do at least once.”
A beautiful flight with a top team

A beautiful balloon and an unforgettable flight
“The flight in the BMW balloon was a real experience. Everything ran professionally, yet in a really easy-going way. The view towards the Westhoek and the coast was fantastic. This was a gift, but I'd happily book it myself too.”
An experience for young and old
“We went on a balloon ride with the whole family and everyone enjoyed it. The guidance was excellent and the atmosphere was very relaxed. The children especially loved seeing the balloon take off up close.”
Wonderful to float over the region like that
