- 1Your adventure begins in our cozy flight lounge overlooking our most frequent launch site. Savor fresh coffee and snacks as you watch the colorful balloons inflate around you. Once everyone is gathered, your experienced pilots will guide you through a pre-flight safety briefing, after which we'll witness the thrilling final stage of inflation right on the tarmac. As the balloons stand tall, you'll climb aboard and capture a few photos before lifting off into the morning sky.
- 2For the next hour, we'll drift along with the winds, utilizing different altitudes to gently steer the balloon towards our landing spot. During this serene journey, soak in the breathtaking views and create lasting memories. Upon landing, the balloon will be deflated, and we'll whisk you back to the airport for a celebratory champagne toast, captivating stories about ballooning history, and tales from your pilots' adventures.
