Frequently asked questions
Our company is based in Kelowna but we can fly in Vernon for an extra fee of $75.
Your pilot will choose a landing site that is large enough to deflate and pack up the balloon. Most landowners are thrilled to see a beautiful balloon land on their property.
The flights are 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on the wind and weather.
We have 3 balloons:
Pepita: 7 passengers + pilot
Aurora: 6 passengers + pilot
Elsa: 2-4 passengers + pilot
The temperature outside and the weight of the passengers can reduce the number of people the flight can accommodate.
We fly mainly in the morning shortly after sunrise; this is when the winds are the calmest. We rarely book flights in the afternoon as the cancellation rate is much higher.
All flights are made wind and weather permitting. When the pilot calls the day before your flight, we will have the forecast for launch time. In the event of poor weather, we will reschedule with you for another day.
No. The temperatures aloft are about the same as they are on the ground, minus the wind chill. Dress should be appropriate for the season. Please wear long pants and close toed shoes.
Of course! A camera or a camcorder is a must for a balloon ride. We ask that you listen to the pilot’s instructions for stowing your equipment for landing.
Yes. We ask for at least two weeks in advance but try to accommodate last minute bookings. The weekends book up fastest. If planning for a holiday in the Okanagan, try to book a few months in advance, if possible
We request you discuss going hot air ballooning with your doctor if you have health issues. It is an outdoor activity and there can be bumpy landings due to wind. We want everyone to enjoy their experience with us, so if you have physical limitations, please consult your doctor. Once you've done that, contact John in the office for ways we can help you manage in flight. If I have health issues, can I fly?
