The Experience:
Hot air balloon rides are one of the most fascinating experiences you will ever have. The roar of the burners as you rise into the sky, then the silence of floating, drifting with the winds, looking down on trees, lakes, farms, and fields. You don’t feel the wind, you are a part of it, almost not even realizing that you are moving. Hot air balloons drift gracefully above the ground at heights of 500 to 2,000 feet where peace and tranquility overwhelm you as you float over the tree tops above the beautiful New Hampshire countryside. You'll see New Hampshire in a way that ground-bound travelers never do.
Your experience begins 30 minutes before sunrise (time changes seasonally) with a safety briefing and balloon set up. Then, experience the tranquility on your hot air balloon flight above scenic New Hampshire countryside. After your flight, enjoy complimentary champagne, cheese, and crackers!
We look forward to giving you one of the most “uplifting” experiences that can be had in a hot air balloon. Young or old, we are confident that with our pilot, Andre, and his 25+ years experience you will walk away with the memory of a lifetime and a story to share for years to come!
