We love ballooning, we delight in sharing the joy of hot air ballooning and we are dedicated to making you love it too! We employ the best pilots and staff, fly the best equipment and have been offering rides longer than anyone else in the industry. We strive everyday to not only provide the best hot air balloon rides in California but to provide hands down the best hot air balloon rides in the U.S.

Absolutely! Flying is the safest form of transportation and, statically speaking, ballooning is the safest form of flight. Believe it or not, getting in and out of the basket is the most challenging part of the whole flight! That said, hot air balloon rides are an involved outdoor activity and may not be appropriate for everyone. Napa Valley Balloons, Inc. has highly skilled and experienced pilots and crew with impeccable safety records. You are in great hands.

Balloons fly best in cool, stable air which in Napa is usually just after sunrise. Our meeting times will vary throughout the year to reflect the change in sunrise times.

Our state-of-the-art balloons are certified to carry 6, 12, 16 and 20 passengers. As the best that money can buy, the baskets are compartmentalized to ensure maximum comfort and safety.
