Hot air balloon rides in the area of New Hampshire    

New Hampshire Balloon rides

Balloon flights are favored in New Hampshire, and smart shoppers can delight in this exciting and calm sport whenever the weather is good. Regardless of the fact that many persons have never even been up close to a air balloon, those who have taken flight in one remember this unique experience forever!

The pilot heats the air in the balloon to rise, and lets the air cool to descend. An experienced pilot has absolute control over the balloon's altitude, but can't turn against the wind. The pilot steers the ballon by finding different air currents that are moving in the direction he wants to fly.

Balloon flights can be enjoyed by everyone. Most charters last roughly an hour, but check with your pilot to find out what they offer. They often have different offerings to choose from.

Why can't I get a balloon ride in the middle of the day?

Balloons fly early in the morning, right after sunrise and late in the day, right before sunset. This is when the wind is calmest since the sun is low in the sky. The wind is generally too unpredictable, with severe up-and down-drafts, during the middle of the day. It isn't safe to offer balloon rides when the wind is unstable.
