Santa Ynez Valley Balloon Ride

Incredible sunrise balloon flights in the Santa Ynez Valley just 40 minutes from Santa Barbara.

Unlike other California balloon flights which take place in crowded metropolitan areas, our tours start in the quaint country town of Los Olivos. As soon as you meet our flight crew your adventure begins. Back country roads, colorful ranchers and tall tails spun by our crew will entertain you as we search for the perfect launch site. Opportunities to help our crew inflate the balloon are available, just ask. Your balloon flight will be 35 minutes to one hour in duration. Our incredible flying machine will soar to several thousand feet providing views of the entire Santa Ynez Valley. At higher altitudes views of the Pacific Ocean and the Channel islands may be visible. Other portions of the Santa Barbara California hot air balloon flight will be spent floating gently a few feet above the countryside. Deer, wild boar, Red tail hawk, Eagles and other local wildlife are commonly sighted. No 2 flights are ever the same. These here California balloon adventures are incredible. Every flight is followed by the traditional champagne toast and presentation of flight certificate.

A great flight today. We flew a box pattern and landed right next to the chase truck. During the flight our guests a young couple from Ventura got Engaged. I've seen several engagements before but this guy was smooth. I got it on video. He whipped out the ring, showed it to the camera and said, "Will you marry me? :)". No crying, no screams just a simple yes and lots of kissing. Five minutes later we were descending towards the trees and a juvenile bald eagle swooped down and grabbed a ground squirrel. It was amazing! Dust was flying and the bird jumped back into the air. At the same moment two Red Tail Hawks came rushing at the bird nearly knocking it out of the sky. The threesome disappeared over the horizon in a flash. I never know what any flight will bring but that was extra cool.

Another great flying season in Los Olivos. The winter rains turned the valley into emerald green. Light winds and gentle landing prevailed. We had many a nervous first timer and several repeat veterans on our flights. Wild life was abundant and local folks most friendly. The views of the ocean and channel islands are incredible from 4000 feet above the valley. The vineyards below were just starting to bud. Something tells me we are going to have great wine this fall. Our new crew member Sean added a need muscle to our operation and Chris even showed up once for fun. I can't wait to get back in the fall for another big adventure.
