Hot Air Balloon Ride

Why I Like It

I’ve done a hot air balloon ride before and it was a real adrenalin rush. You literally float up and are at the mercy of the wind. The views are amazing, it’s a very unique, rare experience, and definitely a memorable gift. Keep in mind it can get a bit hot with the constant use of the burner to heat the air.
