On other days, we flew for 50 minutes and travelled 30 kilometres!How long does the entire experience last? As everything is dependent on the weather, this varies. However, in general the whole experience takes about 5 hours from pick up to drop off.  What is the duration of flight (Balloon)? About an hour on our Standard flights and one and a half hours on the exclusive Love flights, contingent on weather conditions and suitability of landing sites.

This entity regulates ballooning as strictly as those regulations applied to airplanes. Why do Balloon takes place in the early hours of the morning?
