Tethering for Special Events

Planning a birthday party, fundraiser, or special event?  What could be more fun for all ages than flying in a Hot Air Balloon? Tethering is a great way to stay close to the Earth and still get the sensation of flight.  The balloon is tied off and lifts around 50 to 100 feet off the ground before returning for someone else to ride.  A tether is a great way to experience flying in a balloon for those unsure about untethered flights.

There is no age requirement for a Hot Air Balloon flight, but the person must be able to get in and out of the basket with minimal assistance and be able to see over the top of the basket, which makes the flight more enjoyable.  Hot Air Balloon flights are always weather dependent.  Also, wearing appropriate outdoor clothing and solid footwear is a must.  Currently, we offer flights carrying 2 to 5 passengers, plus the pilot. Hot Air Balloon flights are always dependent on individual passenger weight and the temperature at launch.
