"We came for our anniversary. They treated us like royalty. The photo of the balloon with the sun behind the Pyramid of the Sun has been our wallpaper ever since."
Frequently asked questions
Is it safe? What if I’m afraid of heights?
We fly certified balloons, AFAC-licensed captains with 1,000+ flights each, and traveler insurance. The basket is stable: 9 out of 10 first-timers with a fear of heights report feeling calm. We cancel for wind without penalty.
What happens if the weather doesn’t allow us to fly?
If we cancel for safety we refund 100%, or reschedule at no cost for whatever date works for you.
Can kids / pregnant women / older adults fly?
Children aged 5 to 10 can fly at the full adult rate, since they take a complete spot in the basket. Under 5 cannot fly for safety reasons. Pregnant guests can’t fly either, in any trimester. No upper age limit as long as you can step into the basket on your own (~1.20 m height).
How long is the flight?
The flight itself is 45-60 min. The whole experience (transport + briefing + flight + toast + breakfast) is 4-8 hours depending on the package.
Can I choose the pilot or balloon?
Not directly — we assign by availability. If you have a preference (language, special occasion) let us know when booking and we’ll do our best.
