Sample Adventures & Pricing
Mountain Crossings ~ Pick
Your Peak
Incredible alpine crossings are available near some of the country's
most popular resort locations, including Aspen, Steamboat Springs,
Park City, Vail, Moab and Zion National Park, in the Rocky Mountains
of Utah and Colorado. You'll launch at dawn from a valley below
a majestic peak and rise gently toward the summit. Alpine Flights
vary in length depending on wind speed and fuel but generally come
to an end in a distant valley by 10 am. Your pilot has intimate
knowledge of the unique wind patterns which develop in and around
these geographical monuments.
Each mountain crossing requires extensive pre-flight planning and
co-operation from Mother Nature. Plan to arrive the day before your
scheduled flight and retire early for the dawn launch. Be sure to
allow at least one extra day in your travel plans as a weather back-up
day.
Single Flight Packages: $2400* - Two Flight Packages:
$3600*
* The posted price is not necessarily a per person cost. Rather, it's
the minimum price necessary to confirm a date and guarantee a launch,
assuming favorable weather and a standard departure point. The actual
price of any hot air balloon mountain crossing adventure is determined
by a wide variety of factors, including the difficulty of the crossing,
the possible costs associated with returning you and the balloon to
your departure point and the total number and body weight of passengers.
All flight prices include complimentary video and a celebratory meal
with your pilot. The maximum number of passengers permitted in the
gondola depends on the flight profile and combined weight of the adventurers.

Extreme Skydiving ~ With
or Without Oxygen
Even experienced skydivers can find the idea of parachute jumping
from a balloon absolutely terrifying. Little can compare to the
thrill of intentionally falling out of a balloon gondola at altitude.
Just watching others exit a balloon thousands of feet above the
earth can be a heart-thumping experience. No skydiving experience
is necessary to make a tandem jump.
All necessary training is provided by an experienced tandem master.
Balloon Tandem Jump: $1735*
*Pricing is valid for one jumper and one non-jumping guest and
includes all necessary tandem jump training from a certified tandem
master, equipment use, raw video and photos. This price reflects
the minimum dollar amount necessary to confirm a date and guarantee
a launch, and assumes favorable weather and a standard drop zone.
Our gondola can accommodate a maximum of two tandem jumpers and
two non-jumping flyers. Skydivers can weigh no more than 220 lbs.
We realize the cost to make a tandem skydive from a hot air balloon
is significantly higher than the cost to jump from a perfectly good
airplane. You'll have to trust us when we tell you the two experiences
are completely different. The experience of balloon jumping is often
compared to the sport of BASE jumping. Packing like sardines into
an incredibly noisy airplane and following a parade of strangers
to the door to leap out can be fun, but riding to altitude in peaceful
near-silence with just your pilot, tandem master, videographer and
a friend or two is truly an incredible adventure worth the price
and then some.
(No frills, full basket, up and out, balloon jumps are available
to experienced skydivers for a special reduced rate on select dates
throughout the year. Contact
us for details.)
Tandem Balloon HALO Jumps with Oxygen
Experience the complete insanity of flying 25,000 feet high in
a hot air balloon and jumping out. Special Balloon Tandem HALO jumps
are available on a limited basis to the truly adventurous and daring.
Tandem Balloon HALO Jump: $2985*
*Pricing reflects the minimum charge to schedule and
guarantee a tandem HALO jump, weather permitting, and includes jump
services, balloon flight and complimentary jump video. This is an
extreme jump and subjects you to extreme conditions. You must certify
you are in good health to participate. There is an additional charge
for non-jumping guests. Contact
Incredible Adventures for complete details.
Balloon Over Zion
Zion National Park is one of America's most magical and mystical
places. See massive canyons and sandstone cliffs. Choose a single-flight
adventure or a multiday, multi-flight adventure complete with land-based
touring and lodging. Choice of flight profiles include a snow canyon
crossing, mesa crossing or Zion Park overflight.
Minimum launch pricing varies and ranges from $1800
- $4800.
Custom "virtually all-inclusive" holiday adventures can also be
arranged for small groups. We can help to arrange luxury accommodations,
a jeep safari, a native drum circle ceremony and other fun stuff.

High Altitude Balloon Flights
The typical balloon flight is conducted at low altitude and designed
to maximize scenery viewing below. Trust us when we say there's
nothing typical about this adventure! Imagine being suspended
in a gondola flying higher than Everest. Too high? How about 10,000
feet high in a basket? Minimum high-altitude launch pricing ranges
from $1600 to $3800. This is not necessarily a per person price.

Balloon Pilot Flight Training
Learn to solo in a balloon in just days. Your pilot is an FAA certified
balloon flight instructor. The hours you log
will count toward the total needed to obtain a more advanced
flight certification.
Pricing ranges from $3600 to $4200 for a three to four day training
program. Ask us. You may be permitted to bring along an observer
on one or more of your training flights for no additional charge.
