Why fly with Balloon Nevada?
Because if you're going to do something once in your life, you should do it right. We do it right.
- No groups. You and your guest have the balloon to yourselves = Privacy!* Comfort!* 360° views!* and No annoying kids!**
- Private flights at group rate prices! Shop around. You won't find a better
price for a private balloon ride anywhere else in the USA.
- If we book a flight for two passengers, that flight is considered full. We won't sell that third space.
- No second "hops" like the "bulk for a buck" ride operators
sell.***
- We are full time Carson Valley residents...
we fly here, we buy here, we hire here.
- Over 30 years experience with 100% safety record.
- Our equipment is extremely well-maintained
and the cleanest you'll find!
- Owner
operator = no pressure from the boss to fly in marginal weather conditions.
- We go out of our way to ensure scenic
flights over the Carson Valley. (Much better scenery than staring at water on Lake Tahoe).
- Experienced and knowledgeable crew that truly enjoys ballooning and sharing the experience with others.
- One of the most beautiful places on earth to go
ballooning!
* When flying with large groups (12-24 people in one balloon), your chances of being disturbed, uncomfortable or annoyed are pretty good, and you won't be able to see 360° around you without someone's "big fat head" getting in your way.
** Unless of course, you bring your own kids.
*** Some
group ride operators book two one hour flights (hops) per day. While
the first group (hop) is in the air, the second group stays on the ground
waiting their turn to get in the balloon. Many times this second hop doesn't
take place because of winds, a lack of landing sites, or shortage of fuel.
In this case, the second hop group spends 3+ hours of their day without getting
to fly.
We don't do hops.
Escape Reality, Privately
Our goal is to provide
you an opportunity to truly "escape reality" and experience the sensations
of ballooning without the interruptions of other people.
