Dress in layers
Morning temperatures at 2,300 m can be cold; start with a warm base and remove layers as it warms post-launch.
Secure your camera
Use a neck strap or wrist tether—photos are best from the basket but sudden movements can jostle gear.
Mind weight limits
Operators enforce passenger weight limits for safety and balance—declare true weights during booking.
Hydrate before takeoff
High elevation and early start increase dehydration risk—drink water and avoid heavy alcohol the night before.
Layered clothing
Warm base and a wind-resistant outer layer keep you comfortable during the chilly pre-dawn launch.
Closed-toe shoes
Stable footing when boarding and walking around the launch field—no sandals.
Camera with strap
Capture aerial views; a strap prevents accidental drops from the basket.
Sunglasses and sunscreen
High-elevation sun is strong—protect skin and eyes during and after the flight.
