Balloon Ride Prices

In addition to the awesome beauty of the valley illuminated by the clear morning light, the sensation which impresses most first-time aeronauts is the absence of any perception of motion. There is a sense of suspended animation, of being one with the forces of nature.

Our experienced pilots know exactly how to adjust the altitude to hitch a ride on a friendly breeze going their way. While the flight paths of the balloons vary with the direction and speeds of the winds, the balloons may not land in the same location each day. Therefore a chase vehicle follows each balloon and a trained crew is on hand at the end of a flight to assist with the landing, to pack up the balloon, and to transport the passengers back to their vehicles.

Included with each flight is the traditional champagne toast - a tradition over 200 years old - a continental breakfast, and a commemorative flight certificate.

Flights are approximately one hour, depending on landing site availability, wind direction, and fuel consumption. Flights are scheduled at sunrise when the atmosphere is most stable and breezes are gentle. In Winter Park we do not fly if the winds exceed 6 m.p.h.The entire excursion is approximately three hours.

No charges will be posted until after the flight takes place. We have a 72 hour cancellation policy*.
