Balloon excursions in the area of Vancouver    

Vancouver Balloon excursions

Balloon excursions are promoted in Vancouver, and you may revel in this fun pastime when the weather is good. Even though many people have never even been up close to a hot air balloon, those who have flown aboard in one remember this unique experience forever!

Balloon excursions can be enjoyed by everyone. Most trips last almost an hour, but check with your ride company to find out your options. They might have several packages to buy from.

A balloon team is often a family affair. Crew people come in all shapes and sizes: singles, married, and entire families can be found. Pick any combination of these types of folks, and they are here too. There are crew people ranging from new born babies, to folks well into their 80's still enjoying the sport. The only special skill needed for the balloon ground crew is a willingness to learn and ask questions. Some tasks require a fair amount of physical strength, but don't worry, there are even more tasks that do not.

Be sure to bring a camera and plenty of film!

You'll be surprised at how many pictures you take before, during and after your flight. Bring more film or memory than you think you'll use. Once you're in the air and snapping away you sure don't want to be surprised by running out!

You can bring cameras for still or video, and we suggest you carry them in a protective case. Your pilot may ask you to put your cameras away during landing to make sure there are no objects that could fly out of your hand and hurt someone. Once you're on the ground you can start shooting again.

As you look for Balloon excursions in Vancouver, understand that your ride could be rescheduled if weather conditions are unsafe. Don't expect to fly if it is too hot or poor visiblilty. Bring your camera and plenty of film, because you'll take many more snap shots than you require.
