Dawn light spills across a flat basin as the balloon’s burner hisses and the basket lifts.

Book early-morning slots

Mind the weight policy
There’s a strict maximum basket weight and an extra per-kilogram fee for passengers over the limit—disclose accurate weights when booking.

Vendors at the site and small-town shops often prefer cash for snacks, crafts, and tips.

Morning launches are cold—a compact jacket keeps you comfortable in the basket.
