Sigiriya Hot Air Balloon Ride
Sigiriya Hot Air Balloon Ride
We'll pick you up from your hotel at the indicated time and set off for the area where our hot air balloon adventure will take place. Depending on the direction of the wind, our starting point will be Sirigiya, Kandalama or Dambulla.
When we arrive we'll be given some basic instructions for the activity and enjoy a light breakfast to start the day. Then, we'll hop into the basket and start to take off!
For an hour, we'll enjoy flying over the impressive landscapes that Sigiriya has to offer. We'll observe from a distance the archaeological remains of the ancient palace complex. (Please note that, for security reasons, we cannot directly fly over the archeological site).
After this magical flight experience, we'll land and make a toast with a glass of champagne or juice to an unforgettable experience. Cheers!
Finally, we'll take you back to your hotel, arriving 3 hours after pickup.
