FAQsHow safe is hot air ballooning with Balloon Depot?
With nearly 40 years of accident-free experience, Balloon Depot prioritizes your safety above all else. Our pilots are FAA commercially licensed, balloons are FAA licensed and maintained to the highest standards, and we utilize top-quality equipment for your peace of mind.
Will it be cold during the flight?
You'll find it's no colder in the balloon than on the ground, as you travel with the wind, eliminating wind chill. We recommend dressing comfortably with solid, closed-toe shoes. For evening flights, consider bringing a jacket for when you land, as landing spots can be unpaved.
Where do flights launch and land?
All adventures begin at our meeting site at Harvey Airfield in Snohomish, WA. Our expert pilots determine the optimal launch site on the day of your flight, based on wind conditions, to ensure the longest possible flight and safest landing. Every journey is uniquely tailored!
How high will the balloon fly?
Each flight offers a unique trajectory, with pilots seeking favorable wind directions anywhere from 500 to over 5000 feet. Most flights typically cruise between 500 and 1500 feet, providing breathtaking aerial perspectives of the landscape.
How long is the total hot air balloon experience?
Plan for approximately 3 to 3.5 hours for the complete experience, including pre-flight preparations, the flight itself, and the post-flight celebration. Actual flight time averages 1 to 1.5 hours, though this can vary slightly based on wind conditions for optimal enjoyment. If a flight lasts less than 40 minutes, the price will be prorated.
I'm afraid of heights, will I enjoy a hot air balloon ride?
Many individuals who typically experience discomfort with heights find hot air ballooning surprisingly enjoyable. The gentle, stable movement and the reassuring presence of the balloon overhead often alleviate any apprehension, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the magnificent views. It's a non-strenuous activity, and assistance is provided for getting in and out of the basket.
