Established in 1979 in Lancaster, California, and now based in Las Vegas,
Nevada, "Adventure Balloons" offers balloon rides, tethered balloon rides,
and flight instruction.
The balloon may be employed to advertise and/or utilized for promotional
or fundraising events.
Employee incentive programs are augmented by giving "the best employee(s)"
hot air balloon ride certificates.
Schools can request the "balloon" to provide educational class programs
or assemblies.

Prepaid
Flight Certificates
Prepaid flight certificates
are given for all of our flights. They are paid in full, are redeemable
for one year from date of purchase, and are non-refundable but are transferrable.
Cancellations
HOT AIR BALLOONING IS "WEATHER
SENSITIVE." For your safety and pleasure, we require the weather
to be perfect when we fly. Cancellation of the flight is at the discretion
of your pilot, and would only occur in the interest of your safety.
If you need to cancel or change your reservation, we require at least
one week notification. Payment will not be refunded, but will be
held to assure the next available flight. Passengers who fail to
show up for their scheduled flight forfeit their payment.
Limitations
and Restrictions
Ballooning is a wonderful
experience and we welcome all who wish to fly, although some restrictions
do apply. Weight is usually not a limiting factor; however, some
limitations exist in the size of the basket. We request that you
include your weight for flight planning purposes as required by the Federal
Aviation Agency (FAA). Children must be a MINIMUM of 48 inches tall,
and are welcome to fly - with parent's consent, of course. We make
every effort to accommodate all who wish to share in this adventure.
