Anchorage Hot air balloon rides

Hot air balloon rides are big in Anchorage, and you can savor this wonderous activity throughout the year. While numbers of people have never even been up close to a air balloon, those who have taken off in one remember this marvelous experience for years!

Hot air balloon rides can be had by everyone. Most trips last more or less an hour, but check with the pilot to find out what's available. Many have different flights to select from.

A long time ago someone wrote a balloonists prayer, and we've used it in the post flight ceremonies ever since:

The winds have welcomed you with softness
The sun has held you in his warm hands
You have flown so high and so well
That God has joined you in your laughter
And set you gently back down
Into the loving arms of Mother Earth.

How long do balloon rides last?

Most balloon flights are in the air for 30 minutes to one hour, but you should plan on being out with the balloon team for three hours or more. First, the pilot must determine the launch site based on current wind direction. The chase crew will follow the balloon during the flight and will be there when the balloon lands. the balloon is packed up and passengers and crew are returned to the original meeting place.

Be sure to check with the company you are flying with to see how long your flight is expected to last.

As you search for Hot air balloon rides in Anchorage, understand that your charter might be rescheduled if conditions are bad. Don't expect to fly if it is raining or too hot. Bring your camera and lots of film, because you'll snap many more snap shots than you require.
