How long does a hot air balloon ride last, and what does the experience include?

A hot air balloon ride generally lasts one hour, but the full activity takes about three hours. This includes passenger check-in, a safety briefing, inflating the hot air balloon, and the flight itself. After landing, a toast is often offered with a flight certificate; this depends on the operator, but for morning flights a breakfast is often offered, while for evening flights it will more likely be a tasting. The flight itself offers spectacular views, whether over vineyards, forests, or picturesque villages, or the landscapes of the American Southwest or the historic estates of the Hudson Valley.

What is the best time of day to fly in a hot air balloon?

Hot air balloon flights usually take place early in the morning or late in the afternoon, as these are the times when weather conditions are most stable. The morning flight offers soft light and the possibility of seeing the mist lift over the landscape—this is a special and very pleasant atmosphere—while the evening flight allows you to admire the changing colors of the sky at sunset. Each time has its charm; what is certain is that you will be under the spell of this flight.

Do you need any particular physical condition to take a hot air balloon ride?

Hot air balloon rides are accessible to most people in good health, without any particular physical condition needed. However, passengers must be able to stand for the entire duration of the flight and be able to climb into the basket, which may require a small effort. Flights are generally not recommended for pregnant women, people with heart problems, or those with reduced mobility, for safety reasons. All contraindications will be specified on the activity page.
