Fly over Garrotxa volcanoes in Catalonia with coffee, cava toast, and a hearty brunch, plus a pilot-signed flight certificate.
“Wow! What a once in a lifetime experience! The crew and staff at the base were both attentive and knowledgeable. There were lots of little touches that made the experience special. The croissants before take off were exquisite! We had fizz and cake when on board which was a fun experience. The Garrotxa volcanoes were great to see from the 6500 feet! Beautiful scenery and our pilot told us lots of information. The landing was textbook - barely even noticed. Really enjoyed the traditional Catalan breakfast afterwards. Thank you to all of your who made this special.”

“Good experience with great views, but if your take-off spot is near, Andorra will be prepared to be in very chilly weather for up to 4 hours. the tour operator was kind to offer us jackets to stay warm, and they were very helpful throughout the tour.

“We visited Barcelona for our 1 year wedding anniversary and wanted to do something extra special to mark the occasion, literally couldn't have picked a better activity. The actual day was just amazing, I'm not usually an early riser but this was worth it and then some. Our driver, Musta, was super friendly and we had such a laugh trying to teach him Glasweign slang! The pilot, Quico, was fantastic, I thought I'd be scared, but I couldn't have felt more relaxed if I tried. He was extremely friendly and funny and made an already superb experience even better. These memories will last a lifetime. I would 1001% recommend!”
