Description:
Experience the tranquility of floating over the magnificent South Florida countryside in a majestic hot air balloon!

Take in a bird's eye view of Miami, Biscayne Bay, the Everglades and Miami Redlands from this historic means of travel.

As the balloon takes off, enjoy the views as the earth seemingly "falls"below you. Because a balloon drifts with the stream of air around it, there is very little sensation of movement during flight. It can best be described as a magic carpet ride.

Rise gently above the earth onboard your colorful hot air balloon, piloted by a highly experienced commercial pilot, for the adventure of a lifetime!

Float effortlessly through the sky enjoying the romance, tranquility and the breath taking views of the South Florida countryside.

Once you have set down, you will reminisce during a traditional champagne celebration.

Become one of the few that has enjoyed the majestic beauty of a hot air balloon. The views are breathtaking and the memories last forever!

I was an awesome experience to float around in the air in a balloon. The best part of the ride was seeing the sunrise. It looked really beautiful.

  1. What should I wear?
    We recommend that you wear comfortable clothing.  A light jacket or sweater may be necessary as it is sometimes cooler in the morning.  Please do not wear open shoes or high heels as they make getting in and out of the balloon difficult.
  2. How high do we go?
    A hot air balloon is capable of flying at various altitudes, giving passengers a varied perspective of the landscape below.  The maximum altitude we reach will depend on wind direction and speed.  We will fly as high as a few thousand feet above the ground and as low as the tree tops in open areas.  You'll really enjoy the view!
  3. What time will I have to meet?
    The meeting time is between 5:30-6:00am.  You should plan on being there for approximately three hours.
  4. Can I bring a camera? Our own champagne?
    Every one of the balloon rides includes a well presented post flight celebration picnic which features drinks and snacks for everyone.  You are welcome to bring your own food related items.  We encourage you to bring a still camera or a video camera to record your ballooning adventure.  The policy is not to have open containers on board the balloon during flight.
  5. Can our friends/family follw us while we fly?
    Yes, you can bring someone along that just wants to watch the balloon set up, flight and landing.  We have limited room in our chase vehicle.  Any additional persons may have to follow our chase vehicle in their own car.  Our chase crew attempts to take pictures of the balloon while it's in flight.  Your friends/family may do the same if they decide to join the "chase."
  6. Will I get motion sickness in the balloon?
    Motion sickness occurs to different people under varied circumstances.  Because balloons fly with the wind, we do not feel any significant turbulence in the balloon while in flight.  Once the balloon leaves the ground, the ride is very smooth.  On landing, we sometimes bounce a few feet before coming to a stop, however, this should not cause motion sickness.
