Treat yourself and someone special, the entire family or group to a spectacular hot air balloon ride. Imagine the ground gently moving away as you take in the unique panoramic view of the Boulder area and the Colorado Mountains. Float with gentle morning breezes and experience the first form of air travel.

We fly 2 -5 passengers per balloon and we specialize in personalized hot air balloon flights for you and your family offering a more intimate ballooning experience. You are not flying with large groups of people in huge baskets. We offer coffee, tea & hot chocolate for you while you watch the balloons being setup and then we follow each hot air balloon ride with a special champagne toast, to celebrate your flight in true ballooning tradition. Non-alcohol champagne is available upon request. Ballooning Souvenir t-shirts and lapel pins are also available for sale.


Your Flight

The hot air ballooning experience takes about 3-4 hours and we usually fly at sunrise when the winds are generally most stable. Dress comfortably for the overnight temperature, layered clothing is highly recommended. Long pants and sturdy shoes are necessary for the flight and bring a hat, gloves, and sunglasses. Of course, don’t forget your cameras.

Bring your gloves and participate in the balloon inflation and pack up process to get the complete ballooning experience. Once aloft, we will fly high enough for panoramic mountain views and low enough to enjoy the excitement of skimming a river or tree tops. We fly at different altitudes to use the varying wind layers to “steer” the hot air balloon. These winds may take us about 5 or 10 miles in an approximate 1 hour to hour and a half flight. Since we generally do not fly back to the launch site, our experienced chase crew will be in radio contact and follow us. They will be there when we land to help pack up the hot air balloon and take us back to the launch site.
Flying Locations

We offer spectacular sunrise flights from our East Boulder County location and from
South Park a beautiful mountain valley 55 miles west of Colorado Springs just off of highway 24.
A map and directions to the launch site will be sent with your confirmation.

Special Occasions and Gift Certificates
Hot air balloon rides are unique and thoughtful for proposals, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and “something that has been on my bucket list”.
Hot air Balloon rides are also excellent for corporate team-building activities, sales incentives and employer or employee gifts. Hot Air Balloon Flight Gift Certificates make excellent gifts. You can present the recipient with their balloon flight gift certificate on their birthday, or other special occasion, and they may then schedule their flight at a time that is convenient for them.
Purchase a gift certificate for yourself and schedule your flight at your convenience. You can always add more people to your gift certificate when you schedule your hot air balloon ride.
