The Everest Balloon is a new, state of the art hot-air balloon, designed and built to fly up to 30,000ft. While we work with the FAA on this project, the Everest Balloon is flying fun lower altitude flights.
Please email us at info@everestballoon.com for rates/availability/reservations. It will be your own PRIVATE CHARTER FLIGHT. The number of people you bring in your group is entirely up to you. You may bring up to 16 people which is the balloon's max capacity.
We will text you a location pin to our launch site near Erie, CO. The Balloon always lifts off promptly at sunrise. Please arrive to the takeoff site at least 15 minutes before sunrise.
We recommend wearing comfortable and weather-appropriate clothing, and closed-toe (running/walking) shoes.
