There is nothing quite like the serene feeling of being one with the breeze and flying high above the landscape in a hot air balloon.  In Northern California, Sky Drifters Hot Air Ballooning offers private hot air balloon rides just outside of Sacramento and just a short ride from Napa Valley.

Why Choose a Private Hot Air Balloon Ride?

A private hot air balloon ride is perfect for a group of friends, family, customers or a romantic trip for two.  When you charter a private hot air balloon ride, only you and your guests are in the basket with the pilot.  It is the perfect way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or special event.  It’s also a perfect place to pop-the-question.  Over the years we have witnessed numerous in-flight proposals, performed weddings right in the basket, and provided a unique departure for the bride and groom following the wedding reception.

The Private Hot Air Balloon Ride Experience

Our flights occur either at sunrise, or an hour before sunset when the wind is calm.  At the launch field you’ll watch as our hot air balloon crew assembles and inflates the balloon.  Meanwhile, one of our crew members will be there to explain the process, answer questions and to take photos of you with the balloon.

In the air you’ll fly over heritage ranch land, gold country, vineyards; and depending upon the wind direction, million-dollar homes, rivers, lakes and ponds.  In warm weather you may even experience a splash and dash.  During your flight it is not uncommon to see wildlife ranging from mountain lions and bobcats to herons and eagles.

Upon landing we have a special ceremony where we’ll say the balloonist’s prayer and enjoy a bottle of French champagne as we toast to another successful flight.
