Hoe kan ik tickets kopen voor een ballonvlucht?
Through our website, you can easily buy tickets online for yourself or a gift certificate for someone else. You can use these tickets later to schedule a flight at a time and in a region of your choice.
How can I book a balloon flight?
You can choose the time and region of your hot air balloon ride yourself through our booking system. If you received a gift certificate or purchased tickets previously, you can redeem it for a hot air balloon ride at any time.
How long does a balloon flight last?
The balloon flight itself lasts at least an hour, but the entire adventure lasts about 3 hours from takeoff until you return to your car. After landing, we’ll provide champagne and a flight certificate.
When will I know exactly where we will take off?
You choose the region where we fly, but the exact takeoff location naturally depends on the wind direction. Shortly before your flight, you’ll receive a text message and an email from us with the exact takeoff location. For morning flights, we’ll send this the day before; for evening flights, you’ll receive it in the morning.
When should we be at the take-off location?
The time you receive from us via SMS and email is the time we expect you for the briefing, not the time we take off.
How do we get back to our car after landing?
After a hot air balloon flight, we’ll bring everyone back to the launch site in an adventurous jeep or comfortable minibus. This return trip is always included and is unique in our region.
What happens in unsafe weather?
Wanneer er zich veiligheidshalve een probleem zou stellen met de weersomstandigheden, dan zijn we genoodzaakt om de vlucht te annuleren. Wij zullen jou hierover tijdig informeren. In dat geval kan je meteen een nieuwe vlucht boeken.
What clothes should I wear during a balloon flight?
Because we’re going with the wind, it’s not cold during a hot air balloon ride. A sweater for after landing and sturdy shoes are recommended.
Is there an age limit for balloon flights?
There’s no age limit for hot air ballooning. Everyone is welcome, from young to old. Children must be accompanied by an adult. We do not recommend flying with children smaller than one meter.
Can I fly if I am pregnant?
Due to an insurance dispute, pregnant women are unfortunately unable to join us for a hot air balloon ride.
Can you suffer from a fear of heights in a hot air balloon?
You can’t suffer from fear of heights in a hot air balloon, because the balloon doesn’t touch the ground during a flight. So don’t let your fear of heights hold you back!
Can I book a private flight?
Yes, a private flight is definitely possible with Skyview Balloons! You can book a private flight for you and your partner, business associates, friends, or family. Contact us for more information about private flights.
