Michigan  Hot Air Balloon Ride

Hot Air Balloon Ride in Michigan

Give a Gift They'll Never Forget!
Nobody forgets their first balloon flight. It is truly an experience that cannot compare to anything else. The sensation of flying over trees, lakes and streams, spotting deer and other wildlife is unique and inspiring. When a gift touches someone both emotionally and on a multi-sensory level people remember who gave it to them. If you really want to make a lasting impression, a hot air balloon ride is the ultimate "unforgettable" gift.

Enjoy the excitement of a hot air balloon ride over the beautiful scenery of Oakland County, Michigan. You'll fly over the lakes and woods of Kensington or Island Lake Parks. On most flights you'll see White Tail Deer, hundreds of birds and other wildlife as we skim the treetops. It's a birds-eye view you can ONLY experience in a hot air balloon. Tell a friend about us!
