Hot air balloon rides are plentiful around Anchorage, Alaska and they can be rented for day trips, special occasions, short flights throughout the day or night trips. Many pilots on the hot air balloons will allow passengers to help in the assembly and launch procedures which is easiest when the winds are light. When the hot air balloon is upright, passengers can climb into the basket and wait for the pilot to clear for launch after enough heat is filtered into the envelope of the balloon.
Most of the hot air balloons fly between 500 and 1000 feet and can stay in the air for approximately 2 hours if the weather, temperature and weight in the balloon are ideal. For a balloon to be able to fly at night, it must be equipped with lights which can clearly be seen by other aircrafts.
A majority of the rides are launched around sunrise or sunset as the air conditions are usually fairly calm. Special events such as birthdays, weddings, anniversaries or night flights can be arranged for those wanting to celebrate in a fascinating way.
The experience and serenity while soaring over Anchorage, Alaska in a hot air balloon is an adventure which is never forgotten. A night launch allows passengers to see the illumination of the skyline giving one a different perspective of the city.
