Shared Balloon Flights

The Adventure of a Lifetime.
The Price of a Great Dinner.

Shared flights put you in the basket with up to three other passengers — intimate enough to feel personal, social enough to make new friends. If you've always wanted to fly but wanted to share the experience with others who get it, this is your flight.

We keep groups small — 2 to 4 passengers maximum. No wall of strangers. Just a small group, a great pilot, and the sky.
