There's nothing as unique as riding in a hot-air-balloon. You drift freely where the wind takes you, climb heights that make the world look so small, and the views will take your breath away. A hot-air-balloon ride is magical experience that we think everyone should do at least once in their life!

We promise you it is worth the wait for a safe flight and a flight that will be filled with memories that will last a lifetime!

Weather is the most important requirement of any balloon flight and we take a great amount of time and effort in making our flight decision. Great weather with very light winds, no precipitation and good visibility is required. Balloons require very light winds under 9 mph, both surface wind and winds aloft (winds above tree tops to altitude) are all very important things for balloons. Visibility needs to be at least 3 miles with no storms or bad weather near the area. Balloons are very sensitive to the weather and we will not take chances with safety. If the conditions do not permit a safe and enjoyable flight experience, our pilots will cancel that flight date and we ask that passengers respect our professional decision for your safety. Reschedules can be common, just choose a new date until weather will allow your flight.

FAQ
What time of the day do hot-air-balloons fly?
All hot-air-balloons can only fly safe passenger flights during two times of the day. Flights take place near sunrise and about 2 hours prior to sunset and only on days when the weather will allow flights. Hot-air-balloons are not able to fly during the middle of the day due to the thermal activity, which makes the air unstable for a balloon. The updrafts and downdrafts, or thermals could overpower the balloons’ ability to climb so all passenger balloons stay on the ground during the middle of the day. See bottom of page for specific flight meeting times.
