What To Expect

Black Hills National Forest

Once the balloon is ready, you’ll gently take to the skies for an approximate 1-hour flight over the Black Hills National Forest. If you are new to ballooning, you’ll be surprised at the silence and serenity you’ll find high above the treetops. It’s truly magical. Upon landing, the ground crew will pack the balloon while you and your pilot celebrate the flight with complimentary champagne, light snacks and a story about the origin of hot air ballooning. Flights depart at sunrise and are weather dependent and always at the discretion of your experienced pilot.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Our Hot Air Balloon experience was more than excellent. Although the wind was a little suspicious to begin with we finally got off the ground and had an amazing experience with Mike at the helm. He was able to navigate an unusual landing with precision. I would recommend Rapid City Hot Air Balloon to all. Thank you to Damien, Mike and the crew!
