Safety is a top priority, and balloon rides can be canceled anytime if the conditions are unfavorable. Everyone at the party is required to wear closed-toed shoes. The entire experience will last about 3.5 hours from when we pick you up to when we return you to your vehicle.

PARTY size

We can accommodate up to 2-5 passengers, depending on total body weight. If you would like to fly with more passengers, please get in touch with us to discuss options for flying with a large group.

The Day before the flight 

Safety is our top priority; the balloon ride can be canceled at any time due to unsafe weather conditions. Your pilot will monitor the winds on the surface and up to 3000 feet in the air. We will check the weather at 7:30. Pm the night before the flight. Your pilot will email you confirmation that the flight is a go or advise you that we need to reschedule. The email will come from Airhound Adventures @rideone.io We only fly at sunrise, and sunrise changes throughout the year, so your pickup time can vary between 0 to 30 minutes from your original reservation time.  

 

The Morning of your flight

One hour before our meeting time, the pilot will verify that the weather readings are within safe operating limits. If we need to cancel, the pilot will send you an email and text letting you know we need to reschedule. If you are traveling more than one hour away, please let us know at the time of booking. 

IMPORTANT NOTE - Please arrive at the meeting time and allow for traffic and final bathroom breaks. We only fly once daily at sunrise; if we are late from the pick-up site, we might have to cancel your flight. If you don't show up or are late for your scheduled flight, we cannot book other passengers on this day so that the cancellation fee will be applied. The cancellation policy could be the FULL amount of your flight. No-show will result in a forfeiture of your entire flight fee or voucher.
