Central Florida Balloon Flight Info & FAQs

We offer general public and special event balloon flights from one or both of our balloons.

• Cross country champagne brunch flights anywhere in Central Florida.
• Onsite tethered balloon flights for private parties and corporate events.
• Advertising banner flights, both tethered and cross country.
• Weddings performed before any flight at the launch site.
• Launches from your location when conditions permit.

Q. When are your flights?

A. We generally launch at daybreak to avoid mid-day thermals, but we can occasionally do late afternoon flights, particularly in the winter. We fly 365 days a year in Central Florida, weather permitting.

Q. Where do you fly?

A. We have hundreds of takeoff and landing sites in Central Florida. Which one we use depends on the wind direction and the area where the passengers want to fly.

Q. What should I wear for the flight?

A. There is a negligible temperature difference from the ground at our altitudes, so dress comfortably for the temperature of the day. Skirts may not be suitable for some of our landing spots. Sneakers, comfortable flat shoes, or hiking boots are the preferred footwear.

Also be sure to bring cameras, camcorders, sun glasses, and a hat if you wish.

A Half Day Adventure & Brunch

Q. How long is the trip?

A. Your ballooning adventure will last about three hours. After being driven to the launch site, you will watch the balloon being set up and inflated. We launch and fly for approximately one hour, then share in the 200 year-old tradition of a complimentary champagne brunch. The balloon is packed into the chase vehicle, and we return to the starting location. For tourists without ground transportation, we will pick up from and deliver back to your hotel.

Q. How high do you fly?

A. We usually fly from the treetops to 1000 feet.

At treetop level we frequently spot deer and other wildlife, and also talk to people down below. It's always interesting to see them look around for the voices from above.

At 1000 feet we get a great view of the Disney, Epcot, Kissimmee, and Orlando skylines, as well as the many lakes in the area.

We gladly accept VISA, MasterCard and Discover cards.
