Balloon Flight Information

Our goal is to provide an opportunity for people to truly "escape reality" in privacy.

While shopping for a hot air balloon ride, you'll notice we're different from other balloon ride operators and don't fly groups.

The maximum number of guests we will fly in our balloon is three, but usually it's just two. Why is that? Because we look at ballooning as a way to "get away from it all", and getting away (in our opinion) should NOT include 12-24 other strangers?

Don't take this the wrong way. 12-24 strangers in a wicker basket can be a lot of fun (like that bus ride to El Paso with Henry and his bottle of Ripple), but if you'd like to experience the real beauty of ballooning, we hope you'll consider flying with Balloon Nevada in your own private basket. If you're going to do something once in your life, do it right!

Don't take the bus when you can take a limo for nearly the same price?

Escape reality in our balloon

It boils down to one thing: Quality over quantity.
