First, our crew chief will take you to the launch site where the beautiful balloon is being inflated. Then we gently ascend and float between 500 and 2,000 feet and travel wherever the wind takes us. We fly above the treetops and below the clouds for about an hour, covering five to ten miles. On landing we celebrate with a Champagne Toast or soft drinks, an old ballooning tradition. The whole experience takes about 3 hours, three fantastic hours! Tickets are fully transferrable and make a great gift! You or the gift recipient can choose from 200 locations. You do not need to choose your location until you are ready to book your flight. The ride can be taken anytime in the next 12 months either close to home or on vacation.
