Absolutely. All flights are operated by licensed, experienced pilots using modern, well-maintained equipment. Safety briefings are conducted before every flight, and operations are strictly dependent on favorable weather conditions.

We recommend wearing comfortable, layered clothing as early mornings can be chilly, but it warms up after sunrise. Flat, closed-toe shoes are essential. Avoid wearing skirts or dresses for ease of getting in and out of the basket.

The entire tour typically lasts about 4 to 5 hours, including hotel pickup and drop-off. The flight itself is approximately one hour, with the remainder of the time dedicated to travel, safety briefings, and the post-flight breakfast.

Yes, children are welcome! Most operators have a minimum age requirement, typically around 5 years old, for safety reasons. All children must be tall enough to see over the edge of the basket and be accompanied by an adult.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my flight?

Safety is the top priority. If the flight is canceled due to poor weather (such as high winds or rain), you will be offered the choice to reschedule for another day or receive a full refund.

The altitude varies depending on wind conditions and the pilot’s flight plan. Typically, balloons fly anywhere from treetop level for close-up views to several thousand feet for panoramic vistas of the Atlas Mountains and the surrounding landscape.
