    For this experience, our partners are taking added measures to help prevent the potential spread of COVID-19. They are limiting the number of passengers to under 10 in order to follow CDC guidelines. Our partners would like to share that due to the close quarters of the ballooning basket, social distancing cannot be completely possible. Our partners are requesting that anyone with symptoms, or who has been in contact with, or tested positive for COVID-19 please reschedule their flight up to 6 months out. At this time, our partners kindly ask that all participants please bring and wear a face mask or face covering (cloth is fine). The pilots will wear one prior to take off, but may remove their mask during the flight as it can interfere with safe piloting. These Covid-19 safety measures are subject to change.

    How do you steer a hot air balloon?
    The balloon goes wherever the wind takes it. However, the winds at different altitudes may blow in different directions and at different speeds. Pilots can steer by climbing or descending to an altitude where the wind is blowing in the direction they want to go.
    How high will the balloon go?
    Most balloon flights are between 500 and 1,000 feet above the ground, but balloons can be flown much lower or much higher. The record for altitude in a Hot Air Balloon is 64,997 feet!
    How fast will the hot air balloon go?
    The speed of the balloon is determined by the speed of the wind.
    What am I likely to see on my Hot Air Balloon Ride?
    Wind conditions determine the exact sights you'll see, but some of the favorite sights are the Phoenix skyline, the Sonoran Desert, the Scottsdale businesses, the Superstition Mountains, the San Tan Mountains, the gorgeous landscape around Scottsdale and some of the lakes and waterways scattered around the area.
