Description

Context The tethered balloon Nao Vigía ascends from Isla de la Cartuja, located beside the Guadalquivir River, providing a distinctive aerial view of Seville from 150 meters above ground. This 34-meter helium balloon is secured by a steel cable, ensuring stability and safety throughout the ascent. Isla de la Cartuja, with its blend of natural landscapes and urban areas, offers an ideal setting for this experience. The experience After boarding at the base, you step into the circular gondola and begin a smooth, controlled ascent. As you rise, the wind carries the scent of the river while you take in the city’s skyline, the Isla Mágica amusement park, and the wide stretch of the Guadalquivir River unfolding beneath you. For approximately 15 minutes, you move freely within the gondola to enjoy 360-degree panoramic views before descending calmly and safely. For whom This activity is suitable for families with children over 4 years old, tourists seeking an accessible aerial experience, and school groups or large parties.

It is not recommended for individuals with acrophobia or severe mobility impairments. Local context The Nao Vigía balloon is a permanent feature of Isla de la Cartuja’s landscape, a space that blends industrial heritage with modern leisure.
