Portland Hot Air Balloon Rides

We offer scenic balloon rides in your own private balloon. You and your guest will enjoy approximately a one hour flight that departs from a launch location in the Southern Willamette Valley. This option is popular for engagements, anniversaries, or couples wishing to enjoy a peaceful flight without the distraction of other passengers.

Be sure to bring your camera and a light jacket. It can be cool when you arrive, and quite warm by the end of the flight. Dressing in layers is ideal. You’ll arrive just before the sun rises and have an opportunity to help set up and inflate your balloon. We welcome passenger participation during the inflation phase, and many passengers enjoy having a part in bringing the balloon to life.

You will take to the air and fly approximately one hour above the beautiful Willamette Valley before landing. Our chase crew will be there to welcome you back, help pack up the balloon, and transport you back to the launch location.

Departure times depend on the date, as we always launch just after the sun rises. You will arrive approximately 20 minutes before sunrise. You entire adventure (setup, launch, flight, and balloon pack up) will take about 2 hours and 30 minutes.
