Book a hot air balloon ride

The time has come: the hot air balloon is standing up. The pilot beckons you, time to climb into the basket. One more time, you have a fever in your stomach and off you go. Slowly but surely, the hot air balloon takes off. The beautiful Frisian landscape with lakes, forests and farmlands slowly passes underneath you while you are carried away by the wind. That's fun!

Ballooning during the Frisian Balloon Festival is a breathtaking experience.
Ballooning tickets are available from €225 per person.
