Bakersfield Hot air balloon flights

Hot air balloon flights are very popular in Bakersfield, and you could revel in this great way to rise above the earth when the weather is good. While some people have never even been up close to a lighter than air craft, those who have flown in one remember this wonderful experience for years to come!

Hot air balloon flights can be had by everyone. Most excursions last nearly an hour, but check with your ride company to find out your options. They might have several offerings to choose from.

What are the ropes for?
The crown line on top of the balloon is used to stabilize the balloon during inflation. "Tether lines" are used to tie the balloon down for display purposes. A "drop line" is sometimes released by the pilot just before landing so the ground crew can pull the balloon to a desired location.

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 search for Hot air balloon flights in Bakersfield, remember that your charter might be rescheduled if weather is not appropriate. Don't expect to fly if it is windy or too hot. Bring your camera and lots of film, since you'll snap many more photos than you expect.
