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.

A hot air balloon ride was on our bucket list. It ended up being the highlight of our vacation. Damien is a skilled pilot with a passion for his trade. After takeoff we floated down the canyons and over miles of pine tress. The landing was about as gentle as you can get. The history lesson on ballooning and the mimosa toast were a great way to end the experience.

Thank you Brad for the kind words! The Hills is truly one of the most beautiful and unique places to fly in a balloon and I'm glad you had a great time with us!
