Who enjoys a hot air balloon ride and why go for a flight? 

We have never met anyone who, after trying it, didn't enjoy their balloon ride! Our passengers come from all walks of life and all age groups. Our oldest passenger to date was 99 years young! The reason people take a hot air balloon ride are as varied as there are people. We have flown passengers celebrating birthdays, anniversaries and graduations. Balloon rides have been given as gifts for Christmas, Hanukah, Mother's day, Father's day, and Valentine's Day. Many companies use balloon rides to say thank you to clients or employee incentives. It is hard to say “no” to a marriage proposal when it is done on such a romantic and spectacular way as a balloon flight. Lately there are those checking off an item on their “bucket list” since it's something they always wanted to do!

In our 30 years in business we have seen practically everything. We especially like those passengers that were certain they would not enjoy the balloon ride. There is the challenge to convince them to try it and the satisfaction of having won them over when they tell us that they're sad their ride is coming to an end. First time passengers are unable to contain their sheer exhilaration and can't wait to go again. We have never had anyone who didn't like it, including a person who only crosses the Chesapeake Bay Bridge by lying down in the back seat of the car! 

Few experiences can match the beauty and tranquility of floating above the treetops and riding the peaceful California breeze. A hot air balloon is one of the most fascinating adventures you will ever embark on. At first the burners roar as you rise into the sky but soon you are overcome by the silence of floating as you drift with the winds and look down upon the breath taking California landscape. 

Very few things are as beautiful as a brightly colored hot air balloon sailing silently across the California sky. The colorful splash across blue skies inspires wistful awe. The only joy greater than the sight is the flight itself, made from high above the golden state!

Nobody forgets their first hot air balloon ride. It is truly an experience that cannot compare to anything else. The sensations of flying over tree's, lakes and streams, Spotting deer and other wildlife is unique and inspiring. If you're really want to make an impression, hot air balloon rides are the ultimate “unforgettable” gift. 

Book your flight soon as schedules tend to fill up quickly. After all, California is one of the hottest spots in the world for breathtaking hot air balloon rides.
