About This Experience Gift

Enjoy a romantic Hot Air Balloon Ride for two over the beautiful Delmarva Peninsula. This private airborne adventure begins at sunrise or two hours before sunset when you meet your friendly Pilot at the launch location.

The fun begins as you help the Pilot and his Crew with the inflation of the balloon. Once inflated, you and your guest will climb into the basket along with your Pilot as he finishes preparing for the flight. As the air inside of the balloon’s envelope becomes hotter, it will gradually ascend above the tree tops, over a thousand feet into the sky. As you float in the basket, you will travel at wind speed for approximately one hour. Along the way you and your guest will enjoy a bird's eye view of Maryland's Eastern Shore from the air as you sail through the skies, float over corn fields, nearby rivers and treetops.

At the end of your journey, the Pilot will smoothly guide the descent of the basket. Upon landing, you will enjoy a wonderful champagne toast. The 360 degree views of the Chesapeake Bay area make this romantic flight the perfect unique gift for couples!

Questions about Private Delmarva Flight

Question: I'm interested in taking my girlfriend on a Hot Air Balloon ride. If I lay out a "Will you marry me?" sign the night before can I ask the pilot to fly over it?

Answer: Unfortunately the pilot cannot guarantee that he will be able to fly over your sign. The balloon is dependent on the wind for direction, and it may not agree with your proposal plans that day. We also recommend you bring a "dummy" ring on the flight. Even the most sparkling diamond is hard to spot from over 1000 feet!
Question: I am thinking about purchasing this for my wife as a bucket-list gift. How does the pilot steer a Hot Air Balloon and where will we land?

Answer: The pilot is depends on wind direction to steer. The wind travels in different directions at different altitudes so by ascending and descending he can change directions. Of course it all depends on the weather on the day of your flight as to where you'll end up, which is all part of the fun!
Question: Is the balloon handicapped accessible?

Answer: Unfortunately no. Passengers must be able to climb into and out of the 4ft high basket. And because you can't always predict where you'll land, you often end up in uneven and/or hilly terrain.
Question: I would like to purchase this for my daughters birthday. How cold does it get up in the air?

Answer: You should dress as you would for any outdoor activity: loose comfortable clothing with sturdy footwear. You may want to bring a light jacket for her if it's a cool morning. The temperature will be about the same as it is on the ground. And because the balloon moves with the wind, there is virtually no wind chill.
Question: My brother gave my girlfriend and I the Hot Air Ballooning Over Delmarva as a wedding present. We would rather go during the day, why don't they offer noon flights?

Answer: High speed or unstable winds can make flying the balloon dangerous. Winds tend to be lighter during the mornings and evenings when there are no thermals to contend with.
Question: What is included in the Eastern Shore Hot Air Balloon Ride experience?

Answer: The experience includes a scenic hot air balloon ride over the beautiful Eastern Shore, a pre-flight safety briefing, and a post-flight celebration with a champagne toast or juice. You'll also receive a certificate of flight.
Question: How long does the hot air balloon ride last?

Answer: The entire experience typically lasts between three to four hours, including the preparation, the actual flight, and the post-flight celebration.
Question: Is there a weight limit for participants?

Answer: Yes, there is a weight limit for the hot air balloon rides. Generally, the maximum weight limit is around 250-300 lbs per person, but it can vary depending on the balloon and weather conditions.
Question: What should I wear for the hot air balloon ride?

Answer: It's best to wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes. Layering is a good idea, as temperatures can vary at different altitudes. Avoid large accessories that might get caught in the balloon's equipment.
Question: Can I book a hot air balloon ride as a gift?

Answer: Absolutely! Hot air balloon rides make for unique and memorable gifts. You can purchase a gift certificate that the recipient can redeem for their flight.
Question: What happens if the weather is bad on the day of the flight?

Answer: Safety is the top priority for hot air balloon rides. If the weather conditions aren’t suitable for flying, the ride will be rescheduled to a later date at no extra charge.
Question: How many people can fly in one hot air balloon?

Answer: Each hot air balloon can accommodate up to 4 to 6 passengers, depending on the size of the balloon. This ensures a more intimate and enjoyable experience.
Question: What age do participants need to be to join the hot air balloon ride?

Answer: Participants typically need to be at least 7 years old to fly. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. It's always good to check with the provider for specific age restrictions.
