HOT AIR BALLOONING TAKES YOU UP, UP, AND AWAY

If you have never experienced the sensation of hot air ballooning then you may find it hard to imagine the feeling of peace and tranquility that is so unique to this sport. While you will hear the roar of the burner as you make your ascent, once you are aloft the lack of mechanical devices to keep the balloon going means that your flight is silent. As you float above the tree tops taking advantage of the gentle air currents you will be amazed by the lack of the feeling of movement. You don't feel the rush of the wind and the gondola does not sway. Because hot air ballooning is so calm it can be appropriate even for those who do not feel comfortable in high places.

The actual speed of the balloon will depend on the air currents but regardless of how fast you are going you will be comfortable and be able to enjoy the scenery and surroundings. You will fly at relatively low altitudes reaching perhaps 2000 feet. You will likely be flying in the early morning since this is the time when the air currents are the most stable. As your flight begins you will be able to see dawn break and breath in the fresh morning air. Your pilot will guide you over the landscape that will appear to rise and fall. You are sure to find yourself wanting more as your first hot air ballooning experience comes to an end much too quickly.
