Inle Balloon Ride

Tour Overview

Float with the wind in a hot air balloon for a unique perspective of the spectacular Inle Lake.

As the early morning mist rises above the water make your way by boat across the lake to the launch site of the hot air balloon.
After hot drinks, snacks, and a safety briefing from your experienced UK-licensed Commercial Balloon Pilot, board the British-built balloon for lift off through the pre-dawn mist.

As you float in the direction and speed of the wind look down over the shimmering water, undulating mountains, lush marshes and villages of wooden stilt houses. Watch as life slowly wakes up on the lake. See the motorized canoes transporting visitors along the main canal on a day’s expedition, and Intha fishermen majestically rowing their boats with one leg as they cast their nets.

Depending on the wind you may pass over floating markets, rickety wooden bridges, a colorful festival, teakwood monasteries, steaming hot springs, or even a bird sanctuary rich in wildfowl. Each and every balloon flight is different and therefore an adventure not to be missed!

After the pilot has brought the balloon to a gentle landing, sip a celebratory sparkling wine as you receive your personalized flight certificate signed by the pilot.
