Looking for a dash of adventure on your travel break? Here are top 5 balloon ride destinations to die for.

1. Tanzanian Serengeti, Africa

Want a wildlife experience from above? The Serengeti allows this and as you float silently over the acacia treetops, you can see herds of moving wildebeest, antelopes and zebra. This definitely makes our list!

2. Hokkaido, Japan

A large island in the northernmost location of Japan, Hokkaido is excellent for ballooning action. Discovering a hot air balloon company is no issue as there is a growing demand for looking at the Hokkaido surroundings from the sky.

3. Coconino National Forest, Arizona, United States

This forest places on an excellent show thanks to its a slightly higher elevation and leafy forests. Discover a hot air balloon company around the Flagstaff area for the full foliage experience.

4. Green Mountains, Vermont, United States

The lush country turns into a spectacle of color during these months. Hot air balloon companies are scattered throughout, but we suggest loochecking out Quechee for its amazing gorge.

5. Dubai, UAE

Watching the sunrise and sunset in the desert dunes from up above is another experience. Once airborne, the expansive desert comes up in a haze of red and gold and the sands glimmer with patterns… a pretty sight!
