Berkeley Balloon rides

Balloon rides are very big in Berkeley, and you could enjoy this fantastic avocation year-round. Even though most people have never even been up close to a ballon, those who have flown in one remember this fantastic experience the rest of their life!

Balloon rides can be enjoyed by all ages. Most adventures last roughly an hour, but check with the pilot to find out your options. They often have different trips to order from.

What if you have to go to the bathroom?
Pre-planning is the key! Since flights average about an hour or so, pre-planning pays off in this regard. There are no bathrooms aboard the balloon.

Is Balloon Flight Safe?

Absolutely! While there is an element of risk in everything we do in life, flying in a balloon is inherently safe for several reasons:

  • Pilots are highly trained and licensed by the F.A.A.
  • Balloons are registered aircraft and must be regularly inspected by an FAA licensed facility.
  • Balloons fly only when the weather is the best. You won't find anyone flying a balloon when weather conditions make it unsafe to do so.
  • It is low and slow! There are few moving parts in a balloon - it is the simplest form of flight.
If you have any specific concerns, talk to the company you are considering flying with. They can tell you how long they've been flying and what their safety record is. They can also answer any specific questions you might have about your flight.

As you search for Balloon rides in Berkeley, keep in mind that your ride might be rescheduled if weather is unsafe. Don't expect to fly if it is too cold or unstable. Bring your camera and lots of film, because you'll take many more pics than you expect.
