Your experience begins by helping with the inflation and set up of the balloon a few of hours before sunset. Once aloft, you will fly high enough for panoramic views and low enough to enjoy the excitement of skimming a river or tree tops. You will fly at different altitudes to use the varying wind layers to "steer" the balloon. These winds will take you about 5 or 10 miles over the course of the one hour flight. Since you will not fly back to the launch site, the experienced chase crew will be in radio contact and follow you throughout the flight. They will be there when you land to help pack up the balloon and take you back to the launch site.
Every Experience Gift is beautifully presented in our unique Xperience Days Gift Box.
