What to expect on your balloon Experience?
First and foremost, a safe memorable experience.

Crew
The most personable, professional, uniformed and experienced..
Clean modernvehicles and quality state-of- the- art balloons.

Clothing
The temperature in the balloon basket is no colder than the temperature on the ground if not warmer. The balloon moves with the wind so there is not any wind chill factor.
We recomend an athletic shoe, NO SANDALS, HEELS or FLIP FLOPS. Our flights are out on the Plains full of rocks, dirt, cactus, sticks and other things that can hurt your feet. Sometimes guests get all drerssed up for this elegant excursion. The balloons are dusty and you will get a little dirty. We recomend you dress in layers as if you were going on a day hike. Sunglasses, a sweatshirt and a baseball hat is sufficient. Some guests say the radiant heat from the burners is warm on their heads.

Time
Plan to meet us at the appointed time. Please do not be late and there is no need to be early. Your balloon ride will be 45 minutes to 1 hour and fifteen minutes in the air. We always try to fly for 1 hour. Depending on the day we land when it is most prudent for safety reasons. Total activity time is 3 to four hours. This includes transportation time to and from the field, time to assemble and inflate the balloon, flight time, pack up of the balloon, party in the field and transport back to your cars. Most flights are done in 3 hours but can take as long as 4 hours.

Number of Guests on each flight
The balloons hold between 4 and 12 guests depending on bookings and guest weights. You will be asked to provide approximate weights of all passengers. We do have a four guest minimum in order to fly. Most parties book in groups of two. Most days this is not an issue although we do recommend you book early as some days do sell out.

Cancellation and Booking
All balloon rides are charged a $10.00 per guest non refundable booking fee. The fee is charged regardless of flight outcome even if the flight is canceled due to weather. This fee is deducted from the cost of the flight. All flights are confirmed and paid for 48 hours in advance.

A credit card number, Cell phone number or telephone number where we can reach you at 3:00am are required.

Depending on the time of the year, the time of day or other unforeseen circumstances, we are not always able to offer all tours every day. All tours require a minimum number of passengers. We will make every effort to accomodate all guests, but may ask for some flexibility on your part by having alternate days/times available.

All trips except for white water rafting are paid for and confirmed 48 hours prior to activity date and time. Trips are non refundable with-in that time. In addition a $10.00 per person rerservation fee will be charged for all balloon flights. This fee is non refundable regardless of flight outcome.
