Statement on Covid-19
The health and safety of our passengers, crew, employees and communities we serve are our top priority.
We have opened our season for scheduling, but please note that as we continue to monitor the COVID-19 crisis, we reserve the right to cancel/push back flight dates based on government regulations regarding social distancing.
COVID-19 SAFE PRACTICES
While our balloon flights do take place with plentiful open, fresh air, there will still be multiple changes made to our operations. We will implement all these in the interest of safety, adventure, and setting the standard of expectations.
Flexible Cancellation Policy
Updated cancellation policy to allow for last-minute schedule changes.
Health Screening For Everyone
All passengers will be asked health questions upon arrival and will only be permitted to check in for their flight if they are not at risk of having COVID-19.
Complimentary Face Masks
Face masks will be provided to all passengers who do not bring their own.
Hand Sanitizer Stations
Hand sanitizer stations and thorough sanitization of all equipment (balloons & vehicles) before and after every flight.
Personal Safety Protection
All staff will have proper personal safety equipment (ie. gloves and masks) at all times.
Basket Partitions Installed
Clear vinyl curtains installed in order to social distance on shared balloon flights.
Suspending Champagne Toast
Out of an abundance of caution, we have temporarily suspended the offering of complimentary champagne during the post-flight celebration.
Please be advised, that you will still be traveling in a van to and from the launch/landing site and in a balloon basket with 7 - 11 other people (depending on the number in your party).
Stay safe and we look forward to flying with you soon!

Frequent Questions
Have questions about your flight? Here are our most frequently asked questions:
How high do balloons fly?
Though the altitude record for hot air ballooning is 90,000 feet, the height of passenger flights range anywhere from treetops up to 2,500 feet.
Is it cold when you are flying?
No, it is the same temperature on the ground as it is in the air. The temperature only begins to drop when you begin to fly very high.
How long are the flights?
On average, passenger flights are approximately one hour in length. Some flights can vary from 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours depending on the amount of fuel on board, the passengers' combined weight, the temperature of the air and when the pilot finds a suitable landing field.
What time of day do balloon flights take place?
Flights take place at sunrise and approximately 2 hours prior to sunset. Hot Air Balloons are not able to fly during the middle of the day due to thermal activity, which makes the air unstable.
Where do the balloons land?
Hot Air Balloons cannot be steered like a plane or helicopter. Balloons travel only in the direction of the wind. There may be different wind directions at different altitudes that the pilot may use to maneuver the balloon. Upon landing, our "Chase Crew" that has been following the balloon since lift off retrieves the balloon and passengers and returns them to the launch location.
How fast do balloons travel?
The balloon travels the same speed as the wind. An average flight is approximately 15 km in length.
