Hot Air Balloon Rides

   Ever wonder what’s it’s like to float above the earth, drifting on an air current? Riding in a hot air balloon can be awesome, peaceful, yet exciting, and for many a once in a lifetime event. If you are looking that experience of a lifetime come fly with Tecvisions Balloon Rides. Contact us at 515-205-4855 or Tecvisions@hotmail.com to book your flight. You will gently float along enjoying a view only a balloon can provide during your 45 minute to one hour flight. Since the balloon is traveling with the wind, there is little to no sensation of the wind. It is generally a very calm and serene experience. At Tecvisions Balloon Rides Safety is our #1 priority. Your pilot is an FAA Certified Commercial Balloon Pilot with a Professional Ground Team which will provide you with an incredible experience.  

   You can choose either a Private or Shared Ride. If you choose a Shared Ride your flight will carry up to five other passengers and a pilot drifting along with you over the countryside.  

   With a private ride, you will experience a highly personalized hot air balloon flight. Focusing on your desires and expectations. Private Flights are great for Proposals, Anniversaries, First Dates, Birthday's and any occasion you want to make a special private moment.

You will also receive a Flight Certificate, a Signed Bottle of your choice of Champagne or non Alcoholic Beverage, a Souvenir Balloon Cups, a Lapel Pin of the Balloon you flew in and a Balloon Trading Card of the Balloon you flew in.
