“If you want to ride book it here! www.ibballooning.net This company is amazing! Taxis in Mallorca let us down but george and luis made sure to get us to the experience! They came and picked us up from canpicafort! They got us there in time for sun rise, The flight is breathtaking. It’s beautiful. And the pilots are VERY skilled.

2.Balloon Ride over Catalonia with optional Pick-up from Barcelona

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 609 reviews · 3 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $229Top rated

Meet near Plaça de Catalunya before dawn, ride to the Vic area, and float above Catalonia for about an hour. Your pilot, possibly Santi, Nicolas, Benjamin, Santiago, or Nick, handles the flight while you enjoy Montserrat, Montseny, the Pyrenees, and a cava toast. Choose a longer or private flight.

“Trip never saw Monserrat & I wouldn’t have picked it if it wasn’t mentioned as a viewpoint. Overall it was a nice experience and nice people but I wouldn’t have picked this and it also should be mentioned that when you land you have to wait while they pack up the balloon and then they make the participants help back up this heavy balloon and lift it onto the truck. Too expensive of a trip to not have seen what was promised and have to do the work.”
