Wild Pig Hot Air Balloon - Oxford

Natalia Kokla

Five stars are not enough for this lovely experience!!

Our Saturday morning was absolutely unforgettable. We were warmly welcomed with fresh coffee and delicious croissants before taking off on the most magical air balloon ride.

Our pilot was amazing—knowledgeable, calm, and made us feel completely at ease while sharing information about the landscape below.

The views were breathtaking, and after landing, we celebrated with a glass of Prosecco!

The staff in the farm were very kind and supportive. From start to finish, the experience was one of a kind.

Highly recommended for a truly special adventure!

After three cancellations due to the weather we took off last Monday. The weather was perfect as was the whole experience. Whilst, we were disappointed about previous cancellations you have to expect it as you can only fly when it is safe to do so. The experience is well worth waiting for. From the coffee and pastry, helping with the inflation, the flight itself(which was very smooth both going up and the landing) and the glass of bubbles on the return. Mark the pilot was excellent and we felt very safe in his hands. He was calm and informative and we enjoyed talking to him on the return. The others helpers(sorry cannot recall their names) were friendly and we all mucked in getting the balloon packed away before leaving the landing spot. The views were great and I would thoroughly recommend using the Wild Pig.

An absolutely brilliant experience from start to finish. The balloon trip itself is amazing. The balloon is huge! The basket is very comfortable: pilot and crew really know what they’re doing and you’re allowed to help them set up and pack down which is great fun. The farm shop is superb - great pastries and coffee on arrival and delicious Champagne on our return, plus plenty of other goodies to buy and enjoy in their picnic area surrounded by pigs, goats and llama. Unforgettable day - thanks to all at The Wild Pig ballooning.

The whole hot air balloon experience was wonderful, from the friendly greeting with coffee and pastries at the start, to the glass of champagne at the end. The actual balloon ride was amazing, not nearly as scary as I thought it would be. The ground crew were so reassuring and helpful, and the pilot Alex was excellent. It was a very serene, peaceful flight and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well worth overcoming my fears for, and I would do it again. Thank you, Wild Pig, for an unforgettable morning.

Absolutely amazing experience. Third time lucky for me, as it’s a hot air balloon you have to expect delay or cancellations due to weather or wind, but when the weather is good and you get to go it’s great. Alex and his crew are a great bunch of guys. He makes sure you understand the safety aspects on take off, the flight and on the landing. You’re made to feel comfortable and relaxed during the flight, and the flight itself is amazing. It’s serene, peaceful and everything you’d expect from a hot air balloon ride. You cannot go wrong booking a flight with this lot, I’d highly recommend it and I’ll definitely be doing it again. At the end of the flight your asked to muck in and fold the balloon (envelope) away, its not a problem or difficult and you get hands on feel of what the material is like, which all counts towards the amazing flight.

I cannot believe this company received so many bad reviews. We think these people should understand how fragile and dependent this experience is and that the bookings can be amended many times.
Our booking was canceled probably 4-5 times since last August and we really appreciated this as would never jump in the basket if it is windy or it is raining.
Either way, our experience was absolutely breathtaking, I am scared of heights but got used to it very quickly and felt very safe as the pilot is very experienced and looked after everyone. I think we were 1.7 km high which was incredible ?
The views were absolutely adorable!!!?
We loved as well that everyone were met with coffee / tea as well as pastries (one of each! ) and a glass of prosecco (or tea / coffee) after the flight. It's just the whole experience was really nice. Thank you all the crew for making our morning so special, you gave us unforgettable memories ?

We enjoyed an amazing balloon flight from the Wild Pig in Stadhampton down to Upton with perfect weather & spectacular views. Mark, our pilot, & the rest of the team looked after us very well. It was a wonderful & memorable afternoon seeing a familiar landscape from an entirely new perspective. It surpassed my expectations & I would definitely recommend this experience with the Wild pig team

Such a fantastic experience. I highly recommend. It was our second date as classic British weather ment for safety reasons the flight couldn't go ahead but we were informed the day before and booking another date was simple. Staff were helpful and courteous. Met with hot drinks and pastries on arrival and a champagne toast on return. The flight was like floating. So peaceful, with breathtaking scenery. Lasted for an hour and after helping to fold the balloon on landing, we were collected and taken back to the wild pig. Basket allows four people in a padded compartment and the landing isn't as bumpy as you might imagine.
