Flight Information
All our flights are Sunrise Flights. We launch daily seven days a week, weather permitting.
Flights
We meet approximately one hour before sunrise to prepare for your flight. Your entire adventure will last
approximately three hours, but the memories will last a lifetime. We will be airborne for approximately one hour.
Reservations are required.
Our Equipment
We would like to clarify some of the misconceptions on the internet. There are two types of balloon systems. There are Sport Balloons and Ride Balloons. We are in the Balloon Ride business and therefore we fly Ride Balloons specifically engineered for passenger safety and comfort. We have balloons that will hold two to four passengers as well as balloons that will hold six to ten. Our larger balloon baskets are partitioned for your safety in the event of a windy landing. This eliminates other passengers from coming into contact with you. The pilot also has a separate compartment with the fuel system for an additional measure of safety. You may be in a balloon with other couples but we will do our best to make your flight enjoyable as well as safe. Our pilots are knowledgeable of the area and enjoy being your tour guide aloft. Don't hesitate to ask questions and point out wildlife as we sail along. We want everyone to have a memorable experience.
Weather
You are requested to call 321-229-4213 the day before between 3:00 pm and 7:00 pm to check in and verify the weather will be favorable. We will not launch in foul weather or in winds higher than 8 mph. It is the pilots responsibility for your safety and therefore is his or her decision on whether or not to launch. Your safety is our number one priority. If in the event of foul weather your flight will be rescheduled if you are able to do so and no charges will be charged to your credit card.
Dress
Dress for the temperatures of the day. Layers are best so you may adjust as the day warms. Sneakers or closed toed shoes with rubber soles are best. At the launch or landing site we may encounter tall grass and morning dew is common. A change of socks or shoes may be a good idea if you are heading to the parks after your flight. We recommend camera's and video camera's with a wrist or neck strap for safety reasons. A soft case for your camera or video equipment would be a good idea so that you may stow your equipment prior to landing. Please limit what you bring with you in the balloon as we cannot be responsible for damaged or lost belongings. Purses and personal belonging may be left in the chase vehicle or locked in your vehicle before we depart the meeting site.
Medical
Please ask your doctor if you have any medical concerns. Please advise us if you have had any recent surgery, sprains, fractures, or any medical condition that may be of concern for your safety. We look at safety very seriously. If you are pregnant we will not be able to take you aloft.
Liability Waiver
We require all our passengers to sign a Release of Liability Waiver. If you would like to preview this before our flight please contact us and we will e-mail one to you.
Cancellations
No shows without 48 hours prior notice will be charged the full cost of the flight or gift certificates will be considered used. We do not wish to enforce this policy so if you are unable to make your flight please call as early as possible so that we may fill your reservation. This helps to keep our cost down so that we may continue to offer these Affordable Balloon Adventures.
Hotel Pick-up
Hotel pick-up is available at an extra charge depending where your hotel is located.
