A hot air balloon ride over the Costa Brava and the Empordà
Organized by: Globus Kon-Tiki
A hot air balloon ride over the Costa Brava and the Empordà is always an experience that will stay with you.
There are experiences that are etched in your memory, and flying in a hot air balloon over the Costa Brava and the Empordà is undoubtedly one of them. From the moment the balloon begins to inflate, just as dawn breaks, you can already sense that what's coming is something special. It's not just flying; it's seeing the world through different eyes.
This part of northeastern Catalonia has something special: the magic of the Mediterranean light. At dawn, golden hues envelop everything: cultivated fields, medieval villages, hidden coves... Seeing the Mediterranean from above, with the sun slowly rising, is an image that stays with you.
During the flight, the views are picture-perfect. Iconic landmarks like the Gulf of Roses, the Medes Islands, and the Bay of Pals are visible. If the wind is favorable, you can even glimpse the Garrotxa region or the Pyrenees. The contrast between sea, countryside, and mountains from up there is simply spectacular.
Peace, silence and nature.
One of the greatest charms of this experience is its tranquility; there are no engines, no noise, no rush. You move at the pace of the wind, in a silence broken only by the occasional crackle of the burner and the pleasant conversations with fellow passengers. This calm allows you to connect with the surroundings in a very special way: you observe birds in flight, farmhouses, rural roads, crops…
You don't need to be a thrill-seeker or a daredevil. The flight doesn't feel like you're falling or overly intimidating. It's more like floating gently, making it an experience suitable for almost everyone.
We offer you the opportunity to share and remember this day, and planning it as a couple, with family, or with friends makes it an original and memorable gift. Many of these experiences include professional photography, a flight certificate if you wish, a cava toast, and even a light snack after landing.
In short, a hot air balloon ride over the Costa Brava and the Empordà is a unique and magical way to rediscover the area. For those seeking a peaceful adventure, unforgettable views, and a truly worthwhile memory, this is a sure bet.
We're waiting for you!
