Adventure Tips
Arrive Early for the Best Experience
Balloon flights launch at sunrise—plan to meet at the designated location at least 30 minutes early to allow for check-in and briefings.
Dress in Layers
Mornings can be cool before sunrise but warm quickly; breathable layers keep you comfortable during the flight.
Bring a Camera with a Strap
Secure your camera or phone with a strap to capture the panoramic views safely without risking drops over the basket edge.
Light Breakfast Before Flight
The buffet comes after landing, so eat a light breakfast beforehand if you tend to get hungry early or have dietary needs.
