The skilled pilots at Adventure Balloon Rides do more than merely steer giant balloons through the sky. As veterans of the industry with more than four decades of experience and aerostatic technology experts, they also operate an aircraft repair station and a world-renowned balloon pilot training school, consult for NASA, and even make movies and television commercials with the help of their in-house special-effects team. With over 42 years of experience in the business, Adventure Balloon Rides has been safely flying thousands of passengers, training students and performing in over 180 films.

They built their business around sharing their love for flying, though, which is something that is done every day, weather permitting. Their signature flight includes an opportunity to help set up and inflate a balloon before soaring over stunning California vistas. After the journey, a champagne toast concludes the adventure before they take their guests to the Bomb Shelter Cafe for a full breakfast with views of colorful parachutes landing in the nearby drop zone.
