Frequently Asked Question

How do you steer a balloon?

Air flows like water in the cool early morning hours, with currents flowing in slightly different directions at different altitudes. A balloon moves with and is part of the air it flies in, a balloon is navigated by changing altitude up or down thus the balloon pilot can use the different air currents to navigate.


DESCRIPTION   YOUR FLIGHT ADVENTURE   TESTIMONIALS

Your adventure begins just after sunrise, between 6 am and 7 am, when balloon flight conditions are best and the morning sunlight enhances the natural beauty of the famous Napa Valley. You are invited, at your option, to take part in the balloon inflation, a particularly colorful and exciting part of the experience.

Shortly after you board the balloon it is gently airborne and your flight has begun. You float serenely and effortlessly, enjoying the unique views and vistas, above the vineyards and wineries of the Napa Valley, which is considered by many to be the most prestigious wine-producing region in the world.

Approximately an hour after launching your pilot begins his descent. Your vehicle can be seen awaiting your arrival. All too soon you have gently landed. Afterwards you reminisce about your magnificent and memorable day with your fellow passengers over a hardy breakfast. Your menu includes omelets, bacon, ham or chicken apple sausage, pancakes, Eggs Benedict, Quiche, French Toast and coffee. What a great way to start your day.
