With over 20 years of local tour experience, the largest and most modern hot air balloons in the five-state region; Black Hills Balloons has helped thousands of people see things from a different point of view! Black Hills Balloons has a capacity ranging from two to twelve passengers per balloon, and can accommodate nearly any size sightseeing party. Balloon flying is approximately a three-hour activity, consisting of the inflation and launch, the flight itself that is approximately one hour in the air, the pack up and the traditional champagne toast with return-to-base ride. Sunrise, when winds are calm and cool, is the only time of day flights are available. Weather permitting of course.
Balloons are federally regulated aircraft, meaning they are subject to periodic inspection. All of our pilots are federally licensed commercial balloon pilots and instructors. All flights are at the discretion of the pilot, with special consideration to wind and weather. An in-house FAA certified Aircraft Maintenance Station and daily maintenance on our balloons puts you in the best of hands for your tour
