You are welcome to participate “hands on” with the set-up inflation and deflation of your hot air balloon. Our uniformed balloon pilots, averaging 35 years experience, are all FAA certified flight instructors and are considered to be the most qualified professionals in this region. Our fleet is safest luxury aircraft available in the world today, featuring secure, high sided, separated passenger compartments,designed to comfortably hold no more than 2 to 5 people with added stability and excellent, unobstructed views. Private Parties can also be accommodated in any one of our aircraft which are designed to carry a total of only 2 or 8-10 or even up to 16+ passengers. These larger baskets allow the balloon pilot to operate from a separate compartment along with the fuel system, providing much less interference with passenger comfort.
