Aerial Balloon Safari over Russian Wilderness
A hot air balloon ride is not just an exhilarating experience, itโs an opportunity to see the world from a unique perspective. Get lost in the beauty of Russian wilderness while soaring above the ground in a hot air balloon.
- Beginning from the quaint city of Armavir, you will embark on a hot air balloon journey that will take you over Russia's unspoiled wilderness. As the balloon gently climbs, marvel at the breathtaking panorama of Armavir and the surrounding landscapes below. You will continue your journey, crossing pristine forests, traditional Russian villages and tranquil rivers. The pilot will take you above the treetops, over hills and descend near the river, giving you the chance to take stunning photos. This balloon safari is made even more special with a champagne toast while floating above the trees.
- There's no rush. The duration of the balloon flight is about 1-1.5 hours, but the feeling of peace and tranquility as you drift above the landscapes is going to last way longer. After the flight, return to reality with a gentle touchdown, and by participating in a tradition that dates back to the first manned flights in France - a champagne toast to commemorate your skyward journey.
- A hot air balloon ride is much more than a thrilling activityโit's a chance to create long-lasting memories. From the moment you step into the basket to your gentle descent, you'll be enthralled by your surroundings.
Preparation steps:
- Prep up for your hot air balloon safari by choosing loose, comfortable clothes that don't restrict your movements. Footwear should be flat and comfortable as you will be standing throughout the flight. Don't forget a hat or cap โ the heat from the burners can be quite intense. Arrive well in advance of your planned lift-off time. The balloon company usually requires passengers to arrive at least a half-hour ahead of the scheduled flight time.
- Check the weather forecast in advance and confirm the flight a day before. Weather conditions are crucial for a safe and comfortable flight. If it's too windy or if there's a chance of rain, the flight may be rescheduled to ensure your safety.
- Make sure your camera or smartphone is fully charged. You definitely don't want to miss the opportunity to capture the stunning views of your balloon safari. It's also a good idea to clear your memory card or free up some storage on your phone to make sure you have enough space for lots of photos.

Some tips:
- Itโs a good idea to book your hot air balloon adventure early in the morning. The cool, calm air not only makes for a more comfortable flight, but also makes for a more beautiful landscape to view.
- To make the most of your hot air balloon ride, try to stay as relaxed as possible during your flight. It's not uncommon for passengers to grip tightly to the balloon's basket, but doing so can tire you out and take away from the overall experience.
- Make sure you have travel insurance that covers balloon flights. Although it's a safe activity, it's better to be covered in the event of any unforeseen situations.
