At Sky Rider Tours, our Temecula hot air balloon tour flights are available daily, once a day at sunrise over the beautiful Southern California Wine Country!
Ballooning is a weather- and weight-sensitive activity, meaning that our ability to fly is completely dependent on the current weather. Southern California offers phenomenal ballooning weather and we are able to fly approximately 90% of the flights that are scheduled throughout the year (10% being canceled due to unsafe weather conditions).
Sky Rider Tours Daily Group flights are the most popular flight choice with the highest value and fun factor!
Your flight is all inclusive except for gratuities:Average gratuity is $25-$30 per person (12-18% based off the normal rate) Mandatory Gratuity for parties of 4 or more.
