Hot Air Balloon Activities

Floating high above the lush landscapes of Ireland’s Boyne Valley in a hot air balloon is an unforgettable experience, made effortless with seamless transfers from Ballyfin. After a scenic journey east, guests rise gently into the sky, where rolling green fields, winding rivers, and ancient landmarks unfold beneath them. From this serene vantage point, the historic treasures of the valley—prehistoric tombs, medieval ruins, and stately castles—appear like jewels set into the countryside. The tranquil silence of the flight is broken only by the occasional burst of the burner, enhancing the sense of calm as the balloon drifts with the wind. As the sun casts its golden glow across the landscape, travellers are left with a breath taking perspective of one of Ireland’s most storied regions before being whisked back in comfort to the elegance of Ballyfin.
