The best time of year to go hot air ballooning is in the summer months, December through to February when the weather patterns are usually more stable. That being said, you can book a hot air balloon ride year-round with flights operating so long as the weather permits. As for the time of day, all of our hot air balloon flights take off in the early morning when the weather again is more stable. This also makes for an awesome experience as you fly over the landscape as the sun rises.
You’ve heard the saying “heat rises”. Well, this is exactly the principle that is applied to hot air balloon flight. By heating the air inside the balloon with a specifically designed burner, the hot air balloon becomes lighter than the air outside. This is what causes the balloon to rise as if it were floating on water. When the air inside the balloon is allowed to cool gradually, the balloon descends slowly to the ground.
