Choosing our launch sights daily makes it a lot more likely your flight is successful. Ballooning is dependent upon the weather and having such a large radius we fly in gives us a much higher likelihood of having a slow soft landing.
We offer private flights as well as group flights. We can accommodate almost any requests and we would be happy to do so.

2.00No accommodation for missing flight with very sick wife. Also no consideration for other passengers who would be on the flight with my wife. Vendor said "no problem, it's an open air activity".
5 star company by far.

5.00This is a 5 star company by far. Experienced, helpful, friendly and the mimosas and snacks after the ride was a special treat. A plus piolet and crew were top notch.
Glad I did it

5.00It was an overall experience because they showed us the assembling the hot air balloon. the safety lecture to make the trip enjoyable and safe. The ride itself that lasted about 70 minutes and 11 miles. Also got to help the crew dissemble the balloon and had a get together with mimosa. orange juice and coffee with other foods at their base camp where they told us about how hot air ballooning got started by the French in the 1800"s. I would recommended to anyone specially if you have a bucket list.
