Hot Air Balloon Rides in the Spectacular Sierra Nevada Foothills – One of the Best Places to Fly. Just 30 Minutes from Sacramento! Flights from $215 per person.
Hot Air Balloon Adventures
Launching the balloon from the banks of the Cosumnes River is a spectacular experience and a true ballooning adventure. Unlike many other popular ballooning locations, we will be flying over rivers, lakes, creeks, tall trees, and stunning scenery. In the early-morning hours, it is not unusual to see a variety of both ground and airborne wildlife. With stunning views of the Deer Creek Hills Preserve and thousands of acres of protected oak forests, vernal pools, and wildlife, this location is one of Northern California’s best secrets. With limited vehicular access to these areas, flying a balloon over them provides a rare view of some spectacular places! We also fly a variety of other sites throughout Northern California and the Sierra Nevada’s. Come out and experience one of Northern California’s most spectacular hot-air balloon ride locations!
COVID - Safety Notice - Our clients safety comes first! At this time we are only able to offer private flights. Hot air balloons move with the air and it can be quite still in a basket! Due to the reduced airflow our pilots wear respirator masks that filter air in and out. Our crews are segregated from the passengers, and of course all vehicles and equipment are kept clean and lots of hand sanitizer is available. While we could add clear plastic dividers to our baskets and continue to fly mixed groups, we feel this reduces the airflow and diminishes the experience.
We have temporary discount pricing on private flights! 2-4 people is $895 on weekdays and $995 weekends. Additional people can be added at $200 each.
