I'm afraid of heights. Will Ballooning bother me?
Probably not. With little feeling of motion, and a complete sense of freedom, few passengers experience apprehension. Floating on the breezes as the landscape moves slowly beneath you is an experience never to forget.
How high do you fly in a balloon?
Heights will vary depending on whether we are flying over open country or neighborhoods. Generally the range is from treetop to as much as 2,000 feet above the ground. We attempt to offer all passengers the most unique view possible.
How far do you go in a balloon?
Balloons are carried along in flight by the wind. We prefer to fly in winds less than 10mph, however winds aloft may be a bit higher. The average flight distance is less than 15 miles.
How long will the flight last?
Flight duration is approximately one hour. Actual time may vary due to weather conditions and suitable landing sites.
Is it cold up there?
Flight conditions are generally the same as on the ground. In the winter it may actually be warmer due to the lack of a wind chill factor (balloons travel with the wind).
What should we wear?
Dress for the outside conditions in comfortable, casual clothing such as jeans or slacks, and solid footwear. Please - no heels, sandals or open-toed shoes.
