About This Experience Gift

Amazing Views of the Cascade Mountains from a Hot Air Balloon
Soar over 1,000 Feet in the Air During a One-Hour Adventure
Complete Your Balloon Fight with a Champagne Toast

Have you always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon? Then this Seattle Airborne Adventure is the perfect experience gift! Beginning at sunrise, this hour long Balloon Flight offers spectacular views of the Snohomish Valley below.

The fun begins when you meet with your friendly Pilot and Crew at the airfield. Here you will help the with the inflation of the balloon's envelope. Once the hot air balloon is inflated, you and the rest of the passengers will climb into the basket while the Pilot continues to use the burner to heat up the air inside of the hot air balloon. When the air inside of the balloon is heated to the correct temperature, the balloon will gradually ascend above the tree tops, over a thousand feet into the sky. As you float over the Valley, you will travel peacefully at wind speed for approximately one hour.

Towards the end of your journey, the balloon will begin to descend back to earth where your ride concludes with a wonderful champagne toast. This Seattle Balloon Ride is a great way to celebrate a special occasion!

Jay was our pilot. We had a great time, flying high and low near the grasses and the waterways. It was a little cloudy but lovely, just the same.

Questions about Seattle Balloon Flight

Question: I have an elderly grandfather that has never been in a Hot Air Balloon before and I'd love to purchase this flight for him. He has limited mobility. Would this Balloon Ride be a good gift for him if I help him in and out of the basket?

Answer: Unfortunately this flight is not recommended for anyone with limited mobility. Participants must be able to get into and out of a 4' high basket on their own. Plus, the landing zone is not guaranteed and you may end your balloon tour on rocky or uneven terrain.
Question: I'm interested in purchasing the Balloon Ride as a surprise for my girlfriend. Before the end I plan to propose. Is there a way we could fly over a sign or message if I go out and put it up the night before?

Answer: While a Hot Air Balloon is a great place to get engaged, because the balloon travels with the wind, there is no way to guarantee you would be able to fly over pre-placed sign. We also recommend using a 'dummy' engagement ring as they can be tough to spot from 1,500 feet if dropped!
Question: What should I wear on the Balloon ride? Is there space to bring an extra bag in the basket?

Answer: Typically it is recommended that you dress for the flight like you would on the ground for the time and day of the flight. Because Hot Air Balloons are pushed by the wind there is no wind chill factor! Unfortunately, because of limited space in the basket, you will not be permitted to bring an extra bag. However a camera with a camera strap is strongly recommended.
Question: How high can we expect to soar on the Seattle Hot Air Balloon Ride?

Answer: While the balloons have the ability to reach 5,000 feet, most flights take place between 500 and 1,500 feet.
Question: What is a hot air balloon ride experience?

Answer: A hot air balloon ride is an exhilarating experience where you ascend into the sky in a colorful balloon and enjoy breathtaking views from above. It's a peaceful and unique way to see the beautiful landscapes of Snohomish, Washington.
