Saint Petersburg Balloon ridesBalloon rides are promoted in Saint Petersburg, and you could delight in this unusual avocation when the weather is good. While numerous people have never even been up close to a hot air balloon, those who have taken flight in one remember this outstanding experience for years!Balloon rides can be experienced by everyone. Most flights last about an hour, but check with the tour company to find out your options. Some have different flights to order from.
Why can't I get a balloon ride in the middle of the day? Balloons fly early in the morning, right after sunrise and late in the day, right before sunset. This is when the wind is calmest since the sun is low in the sky. The wind is generally too unpredictable, with severe up-and down-drafts, during the middle of the day. It isn't safe to offer balloon rides when the wind is unstable.
As you look for Balloon rides in Saint Petersburg, remember that your charter may be rescheduled if weather is unsafe. Don't expect to fly if it is too hot or windy. Bring your camera and plenty of film, since you'll take many more photos than you expect.

The balloon is inflated using a gasoline powered fan. Once the balloon is fully packed with air, the pilot turms on the burner and heats the air in the balloon, causing it to rise. Passengers then board the aircraft, and your flight begins!
