Soar through the skies of the countryside on this magical hot-air-balloon tour experiencing unforgettable panoramic views over cities, fields, rivers and mountains. Watch the sun rise over the valleys from a unique viewpoint and take pictures of the remarkable landscapes.
In the night before the balloon flight, our guide picks you up at the at your place and drive to the accommodation located in the city of Boituva, about 1:30 h away from São Paulo. The night is spent at a really nice countryside inn located at the exact farm where the ballon takes off by the dawn. After settling in, we rest looking forward to the next day!
A 5:00 a.m wake-up may be too early for work, but not for making dreams come true. The balloon is scheduled to take off at 5:50 a.m, before sunrise, when the sky shows a rich palette of colors changing from blue to orangish-red.
After the safety introduction by your ground crew and pilot, you climb into the balloon’s basket and get ready for take-off. It’s then time for the gentle rise into the dawn sky.
The balloon rides lift off at sunrise when temperatures and winds are usually milder, and last about 1 hour in the air literally going wherever the wind may blow. The balloon soar at a height of 300 to 500 m, and even almost at ground level over woods and plantations almost touching the treetops.
After the experience, you are invited to a full breakfast and a champagne toast that are part of the tradition.
Riding Balloon is an unmissable sensation that nobody could describe the magic accurately.

For long-distance trips, we may have to ask the state or federal road department authorization for taking open highways with big vehicles like vans and buses. Thus, in order to do that, it's required the list of all passengers and their passport or ID numbers at the time of the booking (send it via e-mail after the booking). Therefore, it’s extremely important to book tours with long-distance pick-ups or drop-offs with at least 24 hours in advance. (valid for this tour)
If big vehicles like a van or a bus is traveling without the required documents and the police pulls it over, the trip cannot continue.
Such requirement is not necessary for small vehicles like sedans, minivans and SUVs.
The assigned vehicle is according to the number of passengers for the tour. The vehicles are all fully-equipped and suitable to fit you and your group comfortably.
Hatchback vehicles.
Midsize sedans.
Minivans.
15-seater vans.
The balloon carries 12 passengers. There are also exclusive flights for 2 people with higher prices.
The balloon does not take off in bad weather. For balloon flights to happen safely, it's needed calm winds, good visibility and no rain.
In case the weather does not turn out well on the day of the flight (i.e. strong winds and/or rain), first we will try to find an alternative date for the tour. If this is not possible, the booking will be cancelled and no costs will be charged (any deposit will be fully returned).
The distance traveled will depend on the speed of the winds during the flight, but we usually move 6 to 20 km away from the starting point.
The balloon moves at the same speed as the wind, passengers do not feel any uncomfortable movement, the floor simply moves away from your feet providing a very unique perspective. Interestingly, the sound varies a lot above the ground, the dogs' barks seem to be very close, and you will be able to hear people on the floor speaking in a normal tone.
We assure you that, according to international standards, the room for each passenger should be enough comfortability.
Hot air ballooning is considered to be one of the safest ways to fly. However, there are risks inherent in all sports and this is no exception in ballooning. The most common accidents are hard landings, which cannot be avoided if the winds suddenly increase.
This will never happen if the balloon is kept in good condition and with its load and temperature according to requirement of the authorities.
The balloon supports small holes of up to 25 cm, especially if it's below the equator. An accumulation of punctures will cause loss of hot air, decreasing the ascent speed and the autonomy, with an increase in gas consumption.
The first panel of the balloon close to the torch is made of the same material used in the jumpsuits of the Formula 1 pilots and firefighters' clothing. The balloon's nylon has a waterproof layer with an anti-flame resin, that does not propagates the flames. And for complete safety, the balloon is equipped with a very efficient HALLON extinguisher.
For the comfort and safety of passengers, smoking is not allowed on board.
It's not allowed alcoholic beverages to be consumed during the flight. And for your safety, we don't go on board with glass or bottles.
Not necessary. People who normally get sick even in vehicles do not have problems with nausea in the balloon. This is because they never lose the reference of the horizon and the balloon does not swing,
Yes, no problem. Nevertheless, we should have complete breakfast just after the flight.
Just fill out the “PICK-UP” and “FINAL DROP-OFF” location fields to have the price for the tour guide to pick you up wherever you are, take you on the tour, and return you back to your place afterwards. The booking system may automatically reject too long-distance pick-ups & drop-offs, as the tour may NOT be worth taking because of the trip time to the city of the tour. In this case, you can either select closer locations or get in touch with us for options.
Yes, always. Sometimes, other than the tour guide, there is also a driver depending on the number of people.

The guide’s basic expenses such as meals, drinks and parking lot are paid by themselves on spot.

In these cases, if customer wishes to have the guide as a permanent companion, the guide’s expenses should be covered by the customer. Otherwise, the guide must wait for the customer just nearby to continue on the tour afterwards.
