There is nothing more peaceful than floating above the countryside in a beautiful hot air balloon. "Of course all balloon owners think their balloon is beautiful."
Flight operations take place near Benson, NC. Basically, we fly in the area of the I-40 and I-95 interchange in beautiful eastern North Carolina.
Balloon flights can be scheduled on Monday - Sunday, weather permitting. You can choose an AM or PM flight, year round. AM flights take place during the first two hours after sunrise and PM flights about 2 hours before sunset.
We fly during these times when the winds are light with minimal thermal activity. (Thermal activity causes unstable atmospheric conditions.) Weather conditions have to be suitable for ballooning. It is not uncommon to have to reschedule a balloon flight due to weather conditions not meeting the pilot's requirements. Call 919-894-5893 to reserve a date today.
Most flights range from 1 to 1 1/4 hour in duration. The complete experience from the time we meet at a pre-determined location until we return will be about 3 hours.
There are no age restrictions. However, we recommend that older passengers be in good health and fit enough to participate in sports requiring moderate physical activity. Younger passengers should be of an age to enjoy a peaceful experience. We have found that children under 9 - 10 years of age get bored and sometimes prevent their parent(s) or guardian(s) from enjoying a peaceful flight.
Passengers should wear casual clothing with sturdy, lace-up shoes. Most passengers are comfortable wearing clothing typical for a leisurely walk in the park.
Passengers should bring their camera. We suggest that you bring two. One, to bring with you in the basket and one for crew to photograph your flight from the ground.
All passengers will be treated to champagne or sparkling grape juice, snacks and a flight certificate at the conclusion of the flight.
