Going on a hot air balloon ride is an unforgettable experience. Once you get up high in the air, you will get a feeling as though you are gently gliding through it. Most are scheduled early in the morning when the sun is rising. Winter Park, CO, has scenic valleys and is well suited for balloon rides Colorado. You need to prepare yourself well before you get up there so that you know what to expect. The flight is popular for its uniqueness and adventurous nature. Below are some of the key things you are likely to find.

In terms of cost, there are two packages offered. The private package is quite costly, as you will fork out nearly eight hundred dollars. The public package involves a shared basked with individual payment plans. Each person will pay between two hundred and three hundred dollars. Remember that you are expected to tip the crew after landing.

The weather affects the dates, time and scheduling. The flight cannot take place if there is bad weather. Rain and windy conditions interfere with the working of this balloon. This will cause a number of delays and cancellation of excursions regularly. Do not be frustrated as this is unavoidable. Be in constant communication with the company you booked.

The basket size is usually small. There are two types of flights, private and public. Private ones are subject to which package is booked. Public ones usually hold ten to twelve passengers depending on weight. This is exclusive of the pilot. The flight may seem crowded. The basket offers only standing room. There is no sitting in the balloon. For this reason, wear a good pair of comfortable shoes.

Choose what to wear carefully. It is very hot on board the flight. This is because of balloon burners and the open flames that help keep the balloon afloat. Therefore, even if you board early in the morning note that very warm clothing will leave you sweating throughout the particular flight duration. Find light clothing and enjoy the flight.

Launches are breathtaking. Unlike airplanes that can leave you nauseated, a balloon gently, and gradually, takes off from the ground. All passengers must be inside the basket safely before the pilot initiates takeoff. It feels peaceful and graceful. The basket remains steady as it flows with the wind. It is stable enough for any movement inside. Beware of your cameras and phones falling to the ground. If possible find a good strap to safeguard them.

Landing is the uneasy part. As you descend towards the ground, you will notice, at first, that you are floating near the surface. Later, you will find that you must drag along the ground. If the balloon is full to capacity, everyone may fall on top of one another. Be careful not to hurt small kids.

The hot air balloon ride is an unforgettable experience. Be sure to enjoy it and keep some memories. Ensure that you bring a good camera to capture the moments. At the end of the flight, a common tradition is to take champagne.
