Hot Air Balloon Ride near Seattle – Departure from Snohomish

This hot air balloon ride takes place at sunrise depending on the option chosen, with a flight in the Snohomish area, departing from Harvey Airfield, northeast of Seattle. The flight follows the drift of the day’s wind, with a listed altitude between 500 and 1,500 feet, an ideal altitude to enjoy spectacular views of the valleys around Snohomish in the early morning light.

How the flight works and end of the experience

The activity lasts about 3 to 4 hours in total, for a flight that lasts around 1 hour. Before takeoff, the team prepares the balloon on site with the inflation of the balloon, and passengers can take part in this phase if they wish. The flight lasts about 1 hour with a route following the wind before landing in an open field chosen by the pilot. After landing, the ground team joins you to pick up the participants and the balloon, before the experience continues with a champagne toast and a light meal.

What you see during the flight above Snohomish

The panorama is mainly built around the Snohomish Valley, with a possible flight toward the Snoqualmie Valley depending on the drift. From the basket, the view moves from woods and bodies of water to the more open parts of the Snohomish Valley, with, in good conditions, lines of snow-covered mountains that can also be seen farther on the horizon.
