Orlando Hot Air Balloon Rides

Have you ever wanted to take a Hot Air Balloon Ride? The feeling of flying over the treetops, sometimes so close you could reach out and touch them. We finally did it! What a joy to see a raccoon washing his fish at the edge of a lake before he eats it and on the other side of the lake is a man fishing alone early in the morning. That is what it is all about!
We were picked up at the Galleria Palms Orlando by a van and shuttled to the site where the balloons were staged to go up into the sky. Everyone pitched in to spread out the balloons so they could fill with the hot air. We climbed into a basket and started to ascend! There were 3 balloons aloft that day with about 38 total passengers and 3 pilots.
All the pilots were certified and licensed which made the trip very safe for all of us.
So many memorable things happened that day: Luke Foster proposed to Nicola Shannon while flying high up in the sky. They were both from Essex, England. A young couple getting married that day started their wedding day by experiencing a balloon ride, We made new friends with people from all over the world and we all shared the same awe inspiring serene feeling.
We were in the air about an hour to an hour and a half when we started to descend into a farmers’ field where the vans found us, fed us champagne toasts and orange juice and brought us back to a lovely breakfast. This is an experience not to be missed when in Orlando! You even receive a flight certificate as a souvenir!
