Hot air balloon trips close to South Dakota    

South Dakota Balloon flights

Balloon rides are favored in South Dakota, and smart shoppers can enjoy this outstanding avocation when the weather is good. Even though many outdoor enthusiasts have never gotten near a balloon, those who have floated away in one remember this wonderous treat for life!

Balloons are flown by a licensed pilot, who is assisted by a ground crew. The crew help assemble and inflate the balloon, and follow on the ground during flight. After the balloon lands, the crew packs up the balloon and everyone is taken back to the original meeting place.

Balloon rides can be had by all ages. Most excursions last as much as an hour, nevertheless check with your pilot to find out what they offer. They might have different trips to choose from.

Be sure to bring a camera and plenty of film!

You'll be surprised at how many pictures you take before, during and after your flight. Bring more film or memory than you think you'll use. Once you're in the air and snapping away you sure don't want to be surprised by running out!

You can bring cameras for still or video, and we suggest you carry them in a protective case. Your pilot may ask you to put your cameras away during landing to make sure there are no objects that could fly out of your hand and hurt someone. Once you're on the ground you can start shooting again.
