Champagne Hot Air Balloon Rides with CT Ballooning

There’s nothing like it in the world – a hot air balloon ride is truly a one-of-a-kind experience!

Come enjoy a spectacular sunrise hot air balloon flight with CT Ballooning. Whether you to choose to fly over Connecticut or elsewhere in the Northeast, it will be an experience you will not soon forget.
     

Hot air balloon rides are scheduled daily at sunrise, weather permitting all year. Your entire balloon adventure will last between 3-4 hours, while your actual flight time is approximately 1 hour. During the flight, we'll travel between 3 and 15 miles depending on the wind speed and direction. We'll also vary our altitude from just a few hundred feet, to several thousand feet above the ground, giving you breathtaking views of the area.

Our use of various launch sites throughout Central Connecticut offers an array of sights including the Farmington River Valley, Connecticut River Valley, Long Island Sound, and mountain ranges in New York and Massachusetts.

Once we land, our experienced chase crew will assist us in deflating and re-packing the balloon and return us to our starting point. Then, in keeping with a 200+ year tradition, we will celebrate our flight with a champagne and/or sparkling cider toast and refreshments.

Private Charter Flights

Looking for a more personal ballooning adventure? Since our balloons are designed to carry up to 5 passengers plus the pilot, chances are you’ll be joining other guests aloft. If you’d like to experience ballooning in a more intimate setting, we do offer Private Charter Flights. These flights offer you the same great time as a regular balloon ride, yet you will be the only guests on-board for the flight. Private Charter Flights are perfect for marriage proposals, weddings, and other special occasions.

**Private Charter Flights are not available on weekends from Labor Day to Thanksgiving**
