FAQs
How long is the experience from start to finish?
Typically around 2.5 hours, including check‑in, launch, flight (~60 min), and post‑flight toast.
Why is there a maximum weight limit for passengers going on balloon rides?
Balloons like all aircraft are subject to weight and balance. The total passenger weight is affected by the temperature around the balloon and its altitude. The average weight for your party should not be over 200lb per person. The maximum weight for any passenger is 235lb (if weight exceeds then two tickets need to be purchased). No passengers weighing over 270lb are permitted to fly.
Is this activity safe for children and older guests?
Yes—children aged 4+ are welcome, and balloons fly slowly at sunrise, making it suitable for families.
What’s included in the price?
Flight around sunrise over vineyards and orchards, champagne toast, ice water, and expert pilot narration.
What should we wear?
Closed‑toe shoes, comfortable layered clothing, and a light jacket—temperatures can be cool at dawn, and the ground can be uneven.
