Plan description

Here is the charm of the hot air balloon flight experience at PUKAPUKA! ◆While explaining the history and mechanism of hot air balloons, you will experience assembling, launching, and retrieving after landing! Hot air balloons are the first vehicles to fly in the sky! Our staff will carefully explain the little-known history and mechanism of hot air balloons! Since it is a hot air balloon that you rarely see or touch, please take this opportunity to enjoy the "size" and "power" of hot air balloons! ◆Up to 1000m above the ground. Enter an extraordinary world surrounded by a "floating feeling" and "exhilaration" that is one with nature! Hot air balloons are the only vehicles that fly in the sky that have no windows and no wind resistance and can fly gently. Watch birds flying in the sky from above, touch thin clouds, and look at the clouds floating below... Experience a wonderful view that you can't imagine in your daily life! ~ Flow of the day ~ ① Gather and check the wind conditions. ② Prepare for the flight together while explaining the history and mechanism of hot air balloons. ③ Enjoy a flight of about 45 minutes. ④After landing, we will pack up the hot air balloon equipment and celebrate your first flight with a toast of non-alcoholic drinks! We will also present you with an original PUKAPUKA flight certificate.

The best in Japan! The best in the world! A former world champion hot air balloon pilot will guide you on your journey through the sky.

The pilot who will guide you on your sky trip is one of Japan's top pilots, having been the world champion in the competitive hot air balloon division in 2014. He also has experience in competitive and adventure flights in various countries around the world, so please feel free to ask him anything about the world of hot air balloons!

We will give you "photo data from your experience" as well as "drinks and snacks" as a gift!

We want you to take home as many memories of your hot air balloon as possible! So, our staff will take photos of your experience and give you the photos and video data for free! We will also give you a mini bag containing drinks and snacks, so you can eat them while you're in the air during the flight, or take a break after the experience! Please enjoy them whenever you like!

Toast with a special drink! An original certificate will also be presented!

The hot-air balloon first flew in 1783. When I made a successful flight in a hot-air balloon for the first time, I was toasting with champagne to celebrate my safe survival. In keeping with that tradition, celebrate your first flight with a special non-alcoholic drink! We will also give you a PUKA PUKA original flight certificate!
