Balloon Flight Information

A hot air balloon flight was the first airborne excursion above solid ground.  No other type of  flight  feels  like floating along  in  a hot air balloon.  You are  gently and peacefully drifting  over the  countryside  under a huge  fabric  rainbow  of hot air.  Our balloon carries two passengers and the pilot, which  makes  for a  comfortable ride just for you.  If your group is larger than two, more balloons can be scheduled.

1 hour Freedom Flight         

We fly in Morgan Hill, a rural  community conveniently located 20 miles from San Jose, CA. This one hour flight frequently grants views of the Pacific Ocean and the Sierra Nevada mountains. California is perfect for flying in all seasons. Post flight ceremony and alfresco brunch included. A Freedom Flight is $200.00 per person.

 

Dawn Flights

Truly the most unique flight offered. While ascending into the tranquil pre-dawn darkness, you pass gently over the sleeping world below. You become part of the sunrise as the night eases into day. We land at dawn, just in time for a delicious brunch.

What to wear?

Our flights are in early morning, so please be prepared for chilly weather. Layered clothing is best, as the sun rises so does the temperature. With any outdoor adventure, wear comfortable clothing and flat soled shoes.

How far will we go and 

how long will it take?

Because  balloons  rely  on  the  winds,  some flights will only cover a mile or two, others may take  you  as  far   as  10 to 15 miles  from  the launch site. We allow 20 minutes each for set up and pack up, and 20 more minutes to return to the launch site. The flight varies depending on landing site availability.  The entire  hot air ballooning adventure may take up to 3 hours.
