A common experience for anyone who’s traveled by airplane is to fly thousands of feet in the air. But can you say that you’ve soared at that altitude and have felt the wind blow in your face like a bird soars through the air? For those tree hut adventures who wonder what it would be like to fly, there’s one adventure I’d expect to be on your bucket list: a hot air balloon ride. Though it’s not as dangerous of an activity as skydiving or paragliding, the visceral experience is unbeatable. It’s a perfect activity for the cautious risk taker. Those who admire nature but aren’t after an adrenaline rush should take a hot air balloon for a ride.
Part of the appeal of hot air balloon rides, is inching over a beautiful landscape. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of some of the prettiest places around the world to take a hot air balloon ride.
Another appeal of hot air balloon rides, is the ability to share the experience with your significant other. Unlike skydiving or paragliding, you can embrace your S.O. and talk about the experience, while it’s happening. So without further ado, here are our top 10 choices in no particular order.

Hot air balloon rides are a vibrant visceral experience if you choose the right location to soar over. Inching over a beautiful landscape while feeling the wind in your face is only possible in a hot air balloon ride.
