FAQs

Can I help inflate the balloon?

Yes! It is encouraged to participate in both the inflation and deflation of the balloon.

Is this experience weather dependent?

Yes. Hot air balloon rides are weather dependent and need fair and calm conditions to fly. Inclement weather conditions may cause flights to be cancelled and need to be rescheduled. Your pilot will contact you the evening before your flight to discuss the weather conditions for the next day. In the event of a cancelled flight, you will reschedule directly with the pilot.

Are there any age requirements?

Most young children get restless and are often scared of the loud noise and heat burners. Therefore, the balloon flight is not recommended for children under the age of 6.

Will I have a problem if I'm afraid of heights or experience motion sickness?

Most passengers do not have problems with their fear of heights and passengers with even the most severe cases of motion sickness do not experience problems. The balloon rides are very gentle with a perfectly balanced balloon in the air. You will not experience rocking or swinging, and the flight will be stable and smooth.

Are there any weight restrictions?

Additional fees may occur for passengers over 250 lbs.

Is it customary to tip?

Gratuity is not included in the price of the ticket but is appreciated if the experience is enjoyed.
