It’s no small coincidence that when film producers want to give their film an uplifting, wow factor, hot air balloon rides have often been the go-to choice of many. There is something truly uplifting and magical about a colorful hot air balloon soaring through the skies. From an old favorite, Around the World in 80 Days, the adaptation of the Jules Vernes classic, where fans of hot air balloons are taken on a geographical ride taking in breathtaking sights from the air. Or more recently, the re-adaptation of the story of Casanova where the late Keith Ledger takes his lover on a spectacular hot air balloon ride over a sparkling Venice by night. The list is endless.

What happens if there is bad weather on the day of my ride?
Don’t worry! We have our eye on the ball at all times for any changes in the weather. As the wind is vital for hot air balloons to fly we can only go out when winds are light and when we have clear conditions. We can basically fly all year round but always carefully choose the time of day to fly. Sunrise, and a few hours before sunset, are the ideal times because of light winds. We will not put you at risk and will consult with you at all times on necessary changes to plans due to weather.
Will I suffer from travel-sickness during the ride?
The short answer is no – and the long answer is that you will feel like you are literally floating through the air. This is because the balloon moves with the wind, same speed and direction, so there is no sense of motion. You will feel like you’re gliding along having hawk-eye views of the spectacular vineyards and the beautiful Napa Valley countryside.
How safe is hot air ballooning?
One of the most common worries from our guests is about their safety while flying. We can only reiterate the statistics that flying is the safest form of travel and that ballooning is the safest form of flight! Our balloons are state-of-the-art, FAA certified, hot air balloons and are Made in America. Manufactured by Cameron Balloons U.S. in Michigan, these leaders in their industry design balloons that are extremely comfortable but made from quality materials too. We spend a little extra for the quality of our balloons so that our guests are in the safest balloon possible. Each basket is hand woven rattan, making them light and durable and the balloon envelope is made from fire-treated materials. Your safety is our priority at all times.
We at Napa Valley Balloons strive to make your experience with us truly enjoyable. We have specialized, experienced pilots who will not only guide your balloon, he will also act as your tour guide and will be more than happy to answer all your questions.
