Not many people will take more than one hot air balloon trip in their lives. So if you’re only going to do this once, best make it special, right? This hot air balloon flight near Seattle will provide you with a unique experience. Instead of an overcrowded basket, each trip only carries a maximum of four passengers, making it very comfortable. What’s more, although ballooning over the stunning landscapes of the Pacific Northwest is naturally very popular, this trip follows flight paths that no others do. And lastly, when it comes to the traditional ceremony on landing, you’ll be treated to a breakfast of champagne, fresh croissants, triple-cream brie and organic strawberries - if you’re celebrating something, this is the way to do it!

Your upscale hot air balloon trip begins in Auburn just south of Seattle, and will likely feature amazing views of the Green River, the Enumclaw Valley, Lake Tapps or the White River. The wind dictates the direction you take of course, but the views are always sensational. Feel the rush as you cruise smoothly over the treetops, or drop down for a ‘splash and dash’ in the lake. You may even get a really special look at a local icon, Mt. Rainier. We said at the start that most people rarely take more than one hot air balloon flight. After this experience, we wouldn’t mind betting you’ll be up in the air again pretty soon.
