SNOHOMISH TOP-RATED HOT AIR BALLOON RIDES

PERSONALIZED HOT AIR BALLOON RIDES FOR 2-10 PASSENGERS

The Northwest is a beautiful place for hot air ballooning, and seeing it as you soar above everything aboard a hot air balloon is an experience like no other. Sunrise and sunset flights are available. Choose either a Private Ride or a Shared experience. Your shared balloon ride is aboard a large, comfortable basket with a maximum of 8 to 10 guests (plus the pilot).

Sail with Snohomish Balloon Ride aboard a colorful, nine-story balloon as gentle breezes carry you over the spectacular Snohomish valley, sweeping just over tree tops, floating above a river or lake, or rising high above the earth for a picturesque view of the Northwest mountains and waterways. Relax with panoramic views of the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges, including Mt. Baker and Mt. Rainier, the Seattle and Everett skylines, Puget Sound, and the beautiful farmlands of our valley.

Balloon Rides in the Snohomish area were voted the Best Hot Air Balloon Ride in the Romantic Excursion category of the “Northwest Backroads Great Escapes'” poll. It was also named the Most Unusual Romantic Getaway, winning Best Balloon Ride in 2010, 2011, and 2012 in KING 5’s “Best of Western Washington” contests, as well as Best Balloon Ride in KING 5’s 2009, 2013, 2014, and 2015 “Best Northwest Escapes” contests.

What Passengers Are Saying

Went on a ride with Bob tonight. It was amazing. Everything was expertly done. The balloon was piloted excellently and we had a great time up in the air. Bob was awesome at explaining everything and answering questions as they arose. Before our flight there was excellent communication through scheduling and rescheduling (one due to my schedule, once due to weather). Great experience. Would definitely go again.

My wife and I got married in Bob's balloon and had an amazing time. We booked it as a backup plan because of Covid, but it couldn't have worked out any better. The balloon ride itself was a blast, and I'm afraid of heights. Bob and his staff were extremely accommodating for our big day. The few guests we had even commented on how friendly and professional they all were.

The setting was also perfect. There is a gazebo area with picnic tables and lights where we had dinner before the balloon ride, and cake and champagne after. The whole experience was so much fun and we can't recommend Snohomish Balloon Rides enough.

My husband and I had our first official date on a hot air balloon over 5 years ago. We wanted to elope but wanted it to be somewhere special and meaningful to us. Since our first date was on a balloon, we figured getting married on one would be perfect! My sister was our officiant, our pilot was amazing and the staff allowed us to take pictures with our families before taking off. It was fun, stressfree, and relaxing!

It took six tries (first time was cancelled due to COVID restrictions; the other times were weather/smoke-related)… but we finally flew in mid-October, and it was wonderful! I am afraid of heights, but actually enjoy flying, as long as there is a feeling of security. There was such a feeling in the balloon. This was partly due to the height of the basket, partly due to all of the things that Captain Bob takes into account in order to be safe, and partly due to a surprising lack of the sense of movement, coupled with amazing quiet (except when the burner had to be fired up). Even though we didn’t travel very far because of minimal wind, we all agreed that that didn’t matter, because we were so stunned by the views in all direction. It was very relaxing and exhilarating at the same time!
