The balloon
Let your imagination soar as you experience Bournemouth in a whole new way from the gondola of a giant helium balloon!
Presented by S&D; Leisure, the Bournemouth Balloon is a spherical helium-filled balloon with an enclosed gondola designed to carry 25-28 passengers. Tethered by a steel cable, the Balloon will gently float 500 feet above the beautiful Lower Gardens.
Riders will be enchanted with a spectacular panoramic view of the English Channel and surrounding area for up to 20 miles from the highest public observation point in Bournemouth.
Children and adults alike will enjoy the breath-taking sights by day or our illuminated night time flights, which create a unique romantic atmosphere providing the perfect way to highlight your visit to Bournemouth.
