The Experience
The morning process takes 3 to 4 hours with approximately 1 hour of flight time
You’ll receive a 'GoNoGo' confirmation text or call at least one hour before meeting time.
We are fortunate to have an easy-to-find location to meet you with plenty of safe parking, a nearby fuel station, Starbucks, and restrooms.
Once you’ve arrived, your pilot chooses where to inflate based on the weather conditions observed that morning. Our shuttle will bring you to one of our primary launch locations, within 10 to 15 minute drive from the Kaffe Mocha & Grill meeting site.
We'll inflate the balloons and you can participate in the process if you like. You will be assigned to an appropriate size balloon with your guests. A Private Balloon can also be reserved in advance
The balloon will drift with the wind currents until your pilot finds an appropriate place to land. We deflate the balloon and return you to the meeting site for a champagne toast.
The Kaffe has a complete menu to choose from with affordable pricing

What to Expect:
The sun’s exposure to the earth generates wind with corresponding thermal up and down drafts, so the cooler early morning allows for the most stable flying conditions. Here are the meeting times for each month:
We bring you to and from our launch and landing site in comfortable full size shuttle busses with plenty of room to stand up and sit down
The most optimal Balloon LAUNCH SITE is chosen by
the pilot each day, based on the most ideal conditions
