Air Balloon in Tbilisi

The whole city in the palm of your hand: romance at 150 metres above the ground

A hot air balloon in Tbilisi isn't just an attraction. It's the moment when the city you thought you already knew opens up from a completely different angle. The old Abanotubani district, the winding Mtkvari river, the domes of ancient churches and the glass facades of modern Tbilisi — all of it at once, seen from high above.

The tethered balloon gently lifts two passengers up to 150 metres — and holds them there for around 15 minutes. Long enough to feel the quiet above the city, take photos you couldn't get anywhere else, and simply be in that moment together. 

Height changes everything — the city, the mood, and the way you look at each other. That's exactly why people come back.

For those who find 150 metres just a warm-up, Yolo also offers paragliding: open sky, wind in your face, and the feeling of true free flight over the mountains of Georgia — something that's hard to put into words, but impossible to forget.

Safety, schedule and available ticket formats

One of the most common questions — «is it actually safe?». The answer: everything is taken care of. Flight safety is handled by the French AEROFIL system — one of the most trusted standards in the industry. In windy conditions the balloon simply doesn't go up, so nature is on your side too.

Now for the practical side. The Tbilisi balloon operates from 9 am until 3 am — which means you get to choose your mood: the morning city bathed in golden light, a pink sunset, or the glittering panorama of the city at night. Ascents run every 20 minutes and the queues move quickly.

The price of the Tbilisi hot air balloon depends on two things: the passenger's citizenship and the ticket format. Different rates apply for locals and foreign visitors, and the choice between a standard ticket and a VIP skip-the-queue option is entirely yours. This makes the experience accessible to a wide range of people.

And if the balloon only gets the adrenaline going — Yolo has tandem skydiving waiting for you: the two of you again, the height again — but this time the wind is stronger, the horizon is wider, and your heart beats in a whole different way. This isn't a gentle lift — it's a real freefall, with that feeling of absolute freedom that's hard to describe but impossible to forget. Two completely different experiences in one day — and each one will become its own story.

An unforgettable surprise gift with Yolo

A hot air balloon flight is already an event in itself. But when it's given as a gift, the whole experience feels twice as powerful. A certificate for two can be presented in a stylish branded box — beautiful, substantial, with the feel of a real celebration. Or you can send a digital certificate straight to their phone in just a few minutes, when the idea for a surprise strikes out of nowhere.

This is a gift that's hard to miss — unless your person has a genuine fear of heights. In every other case, the rush of real emotion and vivid memories above Tbilisi hits exactly the right spot. For your other half, your best friend, the friend who «already has everything», parents, colleagues — and even kids from the age of 15. This isn't something that'll gather dust on a shelf — it's an evening above the city that stays with you for a long time.

Gifting a piece of the Tbilisi sky is easier than it sounds. Head to the Yolo website, choose your certificate format — and you're done. No queues, no lengthy hunt for the perfect present. Just a beautiful evening above the city, already waiting for its moment.
