Do you remember when you were a child, and you were lying on the grass gazing at the sky wondering what it was like to be a cloud, gently floating in the big blue sky? Well it is time to make your childhood fantasies come true!

Fly over beautiful landscapes and lakes where you can soak in the morning sunrise for the ultimate in exhilarating experiences.

You will meet one hour prior to sunrise and then travel to one of the many launch sites. Inflation takes about 20 minutes and then you are airborne! The flight is approximately one hour and you will ascend anywhere from tree tops to several thousand feet. Once you're airborne your pilot will point out the spectacular sites of this area, from the theme parks to the Orange groves and forests, to swamps absolutely untouched for thousands of years.

Once you have landed and the balloons are stored away, you will enjoy a Traditional Champagne Toast. Non-alcoholic beverages are also available. You will then return to the Best Western Lakeside for an all you can eat breakfast buffet. All passengers are then presented with a Flight of Ascension certificate by their pilot.

Please Note: Ballooning is dependent upon favorable weather conditions. Therefore, if conditions are not favorable for a safe flight, the pilot may reschedule or cancel the flight.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What should I wear?

Q: What can I bring along?
A: Feel free to bring along a camera or camcorder to record this once in a lifetime experience.


Q: How high do we go?
A: You can go anywhere from treetops to several thousand feet. It depends on wind speed and direction.


Q: How many people are in the balloon?
A: There are usually 4 to 12 passengers per balloon. The larger balloons have seperate compartments for passenger comfort and safety.


Q: Will I be affected if I suffer from motion sickness?
A: No. As the balloon moves with the wind, there is none of this sensation. A balloon flight is so calm, it is possible to set a glass of water on a table in a balloon and not spill a drop.
