Enjoy the early morning in a hot air balloon.  All our spectacular flights are at least one hour in duration (afterall, if we're having a good time...why stop?).  You are invited to witness the pale morning light awaken Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Hood, Three Sisters, and Mt. Jefferson. After your flight, celebrate the majesty of the morning with an official toasting.

And, if your flight is a surprise or at the time of year when flying is not feasible due to the weather, gift certificates are available, personalized for the one you love and can be redeemed for a later flight. All flights take approximately 3 to 3 1/2 hours (you know, a 3 hour tour) from start to finish. Of course, if the weather allows, we sometimes go a little longer. Let us know your schedule. 

We have information available if you want to learn more about what to do, wear, and bring to make your flight successful and fun.

FLIGHT PACKAGES:

Price change starting June 1, 2009..OPERATION ECONOMIC RELIEF.

We have thought long and hard on how we can make life easier for those who need a "pick me up" during this time of economic hardship and have come up with OPERATION ECOMONIC RELIEF.  We know your spirits need a lift and what better way to see the world in a new perspective than to view life from all angles is in a hot air balloon.  So, we are offering a substantial price reduction this season.  General Admission ticket:   $250 per person 
This is for everyone except those who want to rent the balloon and pilot just for themselves.  Enjoy a one hour scenic flight with the pilot and one or more flight team members aboard.  Flight is concluded with a sparkling cider ceremony.  This would also be fun for a graduation gift...how about piloting the balloon for a little while.  We can make it fun.  

Family Affair:  The Parents or Grandparents can now afford to bring"those little darlings" on this flight (for ages 15 and under).  Of course, if the children are not 4' 6" tall, they may not enjoy the flight as much since their view will be of the basket. And, we will top off the morning with a sparkling cider ceremony.  Special child's rate is $2/pound.

Romantic Flight for Two...SPECIAL PRICE:  Getting engaged? Special Anniversary or Birthday?  How about renting the hot air balloon, pilot, and bring your favorite music CD for this intimate adventure with your sweetie. No one (except maybe the pilot) will interrupt your "smooching practice" on this flight.  Sparkling cider or champagne will follow with a colorful certificate and special munchies. Cost:  $700 (Couple's Package) 

The Ultimate Flight...SPECIAL PRICE: Okay, folks, this is the big one.  This is a romantic flight for two with the balloon, pilot, and you.  A once in a lifetime experience.  Watch the Sunrise nestled against the foothills of Mount St. Helens in this Pre-dawn Special Flight.    Launch into the pre-dawn skies and rise slowly to 5,000 feet.  Then, as the sun peaks over the Cascade Range..Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, Mt. Ranier, St. Helens, and Mt. Jefferson, lightly painting the majestic, glacier tops, witness various painted hues and shadows culminate into a splendid artwork of a glorious dawn.  This can only be witnessed perched high above the Earth in a hot air balloon, weightless and still like the breath that you hold when you behold its beauty.  The colors of the morning change from blue, purple, pink, orange, yellow... awwwwwesome.  Then descend to witness this sight again, and again. (We like to say you saw four sunrises in one morning.)  Afterwards celebrate with Champagne or sparkling cider, ceremony with beautifully colored certificate, and breakfast by a quaint stream. (Due to the weather conditions needed, these flights are limited.)  Cost:  $800....memories....priceless

Wedding Package:  Getting married?  How about renting the hot air balloon, pilot, and bring your favorite music CD or IPOD for this intimate adventure with your sweetie. And, don't forget your witnesses.  (We provide if you don't have anyone in mind.)  No one (except maybe the pilot) will interrupt your "smooching practice" on this flight.  Get married in style complete with flowers on the uprights if you wish. Afterwards we serve up cake, champagne and light breakfast spread.  Basic Package is: $1200 includes Bride and Groom and 2 Witnesses (this includes Captain Crystal officiating for your ceremony). 

Of course, you can add onto your wedded event with Videographer (provided by Dream Capture Video Productions (if you wish), or Limo, flowers, breakfast for you and your guests, a 20 foot Banner that says "Just Married" to the world below, and T-shirts for the occasion. Cost:  Call for estimate on additions. We want to make this an event to remember.

Pilot-In-Command Instruction Flight:  Be an Aeronaut (or just look like one).  Learn to fly a hot air balloon.  This flight is open for anyone who would love to get their hands on the burner (12 years and older please). Wow! You get to operate the burner and be one with the universe. Very cool for grads! One-on-one Instruction includes the Senior Pilot, Flight Team, and one hour instruction time, topped off with a celebration afterwards and your Flight Logbook with entry #1. Cost: Talk to the Captain on this one. (Remember, good instruction demands a lot of crewing...if you are serious.)

Corporate or Commercial Tethered Flight Operation:
Add hot air balloon rides at your next company picnic, teambuilding forum, grand opening, or wedding.  Basic Cost: $1600 for a 2 hour gig plus roundtrip mileage outside of 50 miles.

Community Events:
We have local sponsors who are willing to defer the cost of a exhibition or special event tethering in conjunction with a school presentation, car show sock hop, walk-a-than, festival, etc.  We can do this two ways.  We have our Spirit of America balloon which is for stand-ups only (no tethered rides) and makes a good demonstration balloon or we can bring out the Diamond Sun (with a 22' x 18' banner) for stand-up.  Basic Cost: Spirit of America is $200 (Propane and breakfast).  Diamond Sun:  Negotiable.
