About
Flights are scheduled year-round weather permitting seven days a week at sunrise. A traditional champagne reception (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) served post flight with fresh fruit, home-made baked goods, cheese, crackers and hot coffee or tea.
Most landings are very gentle, but on occasion the winds can become strong enough to have a fast landing which can be sporting and exciting landing.
We do not recommend ballooning to anyone who is pregnant or anybody with recent or upcoming surgery that could affect their ability to be able to get into or out of the basket, stand for over an hour and be able to hold on and brace for sporting landing.
