Sunset hot air balloon flights are scheduled daily from mid May through
early September and on weekends all year-round. The purchase of a flight
ticket is required for flight date scheduling and advance reservations
are required so we may prepare for your adventure. A detailed
confirmation package including a map and meeting plans will be mailed
to you.
On the day of your scheduled flight we will coordinate by telephone to
advise of the prevailing and forecasted weather conditions. Aviation is
weather sensitive, so we will be watching it closely. You should plan
on meeting with us about 2½ hours prior to sunset, when Wisconsin weather
conditions are the most favorable for ballooning. (If unsuitable
weather conditions exist or may develop that would not allow for the
safest and most enjoyable flight: your pilot will cancel all flight
plans for that day and the passengers may schedule another flight date
at no additional charge)
Each
passenger must honestly assess their physical abilities and limitations
to determine if they are able to do what is required to fly in a hot
air balloon. The hot air balloon basket does not have a door and the
only way in and out is to climb over the side. Safety and insurance
requirements dictate that each passenger, without assistance, must be
able to enter and exit the basket in a timely manner. (Please review
the basket photo series with Norm, Sue and Gregg Rasske Jr. If desired,
an appointment can be made to view and try the basket at our facility).
Passengers also need to be able to stand for the entire flight and to
flex their knees and hold on during landing.
As
ballooning is a variable activity in response to ever changing weather
conditions, a rough landing is possible. Each passenger accepts the
responsibility to verify with their physician that they do not have any
physical, pre-existing medical or psychological problems that would
prohibit them from participating. Flights will not be provided for
anyone under the influence of drugs, alcohol or during any stages of
pregnancy. Passengers must be at least 48" tall so they can see over
the side of the basket.
The
cost of our balloon flight tickets are $199.00 per passenger.
If you purchase 4 or more flight tickets at the same time, the cost is $179.00 for
each flight ticket. (These are inclusive prices - no extra charges for taxes.) To purchase tickets, make a
reservation or answer any questions, please call Gregg or Sue
at
(920)748-3464 or email us. Flight tickets are refundable
(within
10 days of issue), transferable and are valid for 18 months.
Reservation cancellation policy applies. Payment by check or money
order preferred to keep our prices as low as possible, we do not accept
credit cards.
