The balloon flight will be like...

While floating gently over the historic New England area, reflecting the charm and grace of the view, you will rejoice in this most elegant form of flight. The gentle air currents will help us to explore the hidden coastlines, delighting in coastal surf, sand dunes, salt ponds, marshes and blue-green ocean as far as you can see. Also, we may experience rural countryside views of picturesque farms, estates, lush forests, inviting meadows and gorgeous river valleys. The magic of the balloons will soothe spirits and help replace your sense of heights with a sense of security.

Floating in the wind with the absence of a rising and sinking feeling gives one the illusion of standing still while the world glides by. Adding good vertical control in stable air gives us the opportunity to pick flowers from the basket as we drift through a meadow, skim the surface of a lake, pond or river, or reach for the sun with the magical quality sure to inspire the most timid. This is a world class ballooning experience - far from your average balloon ride.

Flights are celebrated with champagne and crystal by those delighted and transformed by the serene flight of our aerostat. Passengers value the experience as one "too beautiful for words", "will last forever", or "a perfect gift". Certainly a wonderful, romantic way to visit and experience one of this country's most desirable and unspoiled areas.
