Discover more about Air Balloon Tbilisi

Air Balloon Tbilisi offers a captivating way to see the city, lifting you high above Rike Park for unforgettable views. The balloon, a modern tethered design, ascends to 150 meters (approximately 492 feet), providing a panorama that showcases Tbilisi's blend of old and new. From this vantage point, you'll see ancient monuments, traditional terrace houses, contemporary high-rises, and modern infrastructure spread across the cityscape. Rike Park, where the balloon is located, is a relatively new addition to Tbilisi, established in 2010. Situated on the left bank of the Mtkvari River, the park includes the iconic Bridge of Peace, connecting it directly to the Old Town. The hot air balloon experience is eco-friendly and silent, with a spacious gondola that can accommodate up to 30 people. The flight lasts approximately 15 minutes, offering ample time to take in the scenery and capture memorable photos. While hot air ballooning has a long history, with the first flight in Georgia taking place in 1882, Air Balloon Tbilisi provides a modern and safe way to enjoy this experience.
