The Flight

 

SkyScapes Balloon Tours Specializes in Private Flights for Couples and Families which means it will only be your party in the balloon with the pilot. 

We cater to You! and Do Not lump you in with other guests like some of the other company's do.  We want you to have a great experience with us and not be just another face in the crowd!

Escape to a totally different world aboard a Hot Air Balloon and experience firsthand why balloons are referred to as "The Gentle Giants."  Imagine the sight of a Florida sunrise as your multi color balloon unfolds in front of you. Then ride the winds and view the countryside and attractions beneath you or touch the treetops as you gently float by.  You will be amazed at the calming silence of the world above, occasionally broken by a blast from the burner or a spoken word to spectators below.

Your flight of fantasy takes place just after sunrise, the most tranquil time of day, and lasts approximately one hour.  At times it is necessary to reschedule due to adverse weather conditions.  Balloons cannot fly in fog, high winds or rain. If any of these conditions exist at flight time or could possibly develop during the flight, it will be cancelled and rescheduled at the next earliest and available opening. 

We recommend dressing comfortably in layers appropriate for the season.  Don't worry, the temperature doesn't change that much from when you are on the ground to in the air (only about 3 degrees for every 1000 ft in the air). Please wear walking shoes and long pants that you do not mind getting wet in case of dew on the ground.

The morning of your scheduled flight you will meet your pilot about one hour before your sunrise.  We meet at a pre-arranged location from which you will be transported to the launch site.  At the launch sight the balloon is prepared for inflation, you may share in the excitement of unfurling and inflating the balloon if you wish or just stand back and take in the beauty. Once the balloon is upright and you board, your unforgettable flight begins.  In the air, soak in the beauty of the world as you have never seen it before.  Don't forget your camera and plenty of film!  After every flight we celebrate with a champagne toast, a tradition that started over 200 years ago with the first balloonists.  We tell how ballooning started and reminisce about the flight we just had. We then top it all off with a First Flight Certificate for everyone involved.
