Hot air balloon rides shatter the stork community’s monopoly on carrying humans in baskets. Democratize the skies with this Groupon.

Choose Between Two Options

• $180 for a one-hour weekday-evening sunset flight (a $300 value)
• $195 for a one-hour flight during any available flight time, including weekends and holidays (a $325 value)<p>

Passengers arrive at a chosen launch location, which can vary depending on the date and weather, to be briefed by the crew on safety measures before witnessing their multicoloured vessel blossom into a six-storey-tall balloon. Passengers then board the gondola and set off for the sky, the upward ascension revealing a widening landscape below as they soar to heights of up to 3,500 feet. After touching down, passengers celebrate with champagne and are granted a balloon-flight certificate to commemorate the occasion. In-flight time is approximately one hour, and the entire trip, including briefing, boarding, riding, and disembarking, may take up to three hours.<p>
