Frequently Asked Questions about our Rides


Q.  Who can fly?

A.  Generally anyone can be a passenger in a balloon.  In the interest of safety, there are a few exceptions. Pregnant women and children under age 12 are not permitted to fly. Flying is not recommended for persons with hip or knee replacements.  Persons who have participated in scuba diving within the past 48 hours may not fly.  The pilot reserves the right to refuse to take any passenger if, based on the pilot's judgment, it would be unsafe to do so.

Q.  How many people can fly?

A.  In addition to the pilot, our balloon can accommodate one or two passengers depending upon the temperature on the day of the flight.

Q.  Will I need to sign a waiver?

A.  Yes, we use a standard waiver of liability. Coming soon, click here for a link to our waiver.
