What time do balloon rides take place?
Balloon rides take place at sunrise, typically starting around dawn.
The exact time varies by season and will be confirmed when you book.
We recommend planning for an early morning adventure—it's absolutely
worth the early wake-up to see the sunrise from above!
Is hot air ballooning safe?
Absolutely! Hot air ballooning is the safest forms of aviation there
is. Our pilots are FAA certified with extensive training and
experience, and all equipment is meticulously maintained and regularly
inspected. Safety is our top priority on every single flight.
What should I wear?
Dress in comfortable, casual layers. Closed-toe shoes are required
(sneakers or hiking boots work great). Bring a light jacket as it can
be cooler at altitude. Please avoid loose items like scarves or hats
that might blow away. Don't forget your camera!
What happens if the weather is bad?
Weather determines whether we can fly safely. If conditions aren't
suitable, we'll reschedule your flight for another day at no
additional charge. We monitor weather closely and will contact you if
there are any concerns about your scheduled flight.
Are there age or weight restrictions?
Children must be at least 2 years old to fly. The typical weight limit
is 250 lbs per person. Please contact us if you have any concerns
about fit or mobility—we want everyone to be comfortable!
How many people fly in each balloon?
We keep groups intimate—typically 4-10 passengers per balloon
depending on the package. Our Private Flight option accommodates up to
4 guests for a more exclusive experience. We can also take private
groups up to 12 and groups of any size between several balloons if you
call us, This ensures everyone has great views and a personal
experience.
How long does the experience take?
Plan for about 3-4 hours total. We'll pick you up about half an hour
before sunrise, the flight itself is 45-60 minutes, and we allow time
for the champagne celebration and transportation back. It's an
adventure you'll never forget!
Is the flight wheelchair accessible?
Hot air balloon baskets require standing for the duration of the
flight. However, we want everyone to experience the joy of ballooning.
Please contact us to discuss your specific situation—we may be able to
accommodate with assistance.
What is your cancellation policy?
Full refunds are available for cancellations made 48+ hours before
your scheduled flight. Cancellations within 48 hours can be
rescheduled to another date. We're happy to work with you if plans
change!
Can I bring my camera?
Absolutely! In fact, we encourage it! Just make sure you have a secure
strap for your camera. Feel free to bring your phone, DSLR, or any
camera. Just be careful with loose items—it's important to keep
everything secure in the basket.
