Los Angeles Hot Air Ballooning Tour FAQs


When do you fly the hot air balloon Tour in California?

Every morning, meeting one hour before dawn if the weather permits (7 days, 365 per year).

How long is the Hot Air Balloon Tour flight near Los Angeles?
The flight lasts approximately 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the wind speed and direction on the morning of the flight in California. Plan on being with us for about 3-4 hours from start to finish.

How long does it take to prepare for a hot air balloon Tour in California?
It usually takes around 30 minutes to inflate the balloon after arrival at the chosen launch site near Los Angeles. You can get involved with the inflation or stand back and take photos.

Does it get cold up there?
No, it's no colder in the balloon than on the ground. In fact, the coolest part of the morning is when we meet. It gets warmer from that point on, and quite cozy when flying in the balloon over California. We therefore recommend that you wear clothing in layers so you can take off a jacket or sweatshirt while in the balloon and not become overheated.
