Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Adventures
About the flights
The magnificent views of Mother Earth and the local wildlife is breathtaking. We will float serenely above the countryside
and with a little luck some of the local wildlife will bless us with a photo opportunity from our unique vantage point.
All of our flights are Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Adventures. We offer Shared Basket flights as well as Private Charters.
We have been flying in the Orlando, Kissimmee area since 2002.
Our flights are around the south and western edges of Walt Disney World,
the Four Corners area of Kissimmee, Davenport and Clermont, Florida.
We are expanding the company and we have changed our company name from
Orlando Balloon Adventures LLC to Maverick Balloon Adventures LLC.
Don't worry we still have the same friendly and courteous staff!
The Shared Basket flights are a flight with other couples
or families and your pilot in one basket.
With our Private Charters you and your party will be the only passengers
in the gondola along with your commercial rated LTA pilot.
We can accept parties of 2 to 4 passengers.
We fly seven days a week, weather permitting.
Sunrise times vary throughout the year so our meeting times will vary between 5:30am and 6:15am.
Your Sunrise Adventure will begin about one hour before sunrise.
We will check the wind direction and then head off to one of our launch sites.
You are more than welcome to assist in the setup of our colorful balloon.
After we get the balloon stood up and ready for flight the crew will be happy to take a few photos
of you before we ascend into the heavens for our Hot Air Balloon Adventure.
After your sunrise adventure we will celebrate our return to Mother Earth with a champagne and orange juice toast.
Don't forget your camera or video recorder to capture the beauty of the local countryside. We recommend a wrist or neck strap for safety reasons.
We have a 4-passenger gondola with a door for our smaller groups, Private Charters and for our tether events.
No more climbing over the sides!
You can feel assured we take safety very seriously.
All of our balloon equipment is inspected every 100 hours or annually per FAA regulations.
All flights are weather permitting and are at the discretion of your pilot, whether or not to fly.
It's not just a Hot Air Balloon Ride it's an Adventure!
Balloon Tethers
A tethered ride is simply a short and safe up and down flight to approximately 50' inside the balloon basket while the balloon is tied securely to ground support. This allows us to provide an experience for a large amount of people and may be more comfortable for some people rather than traveling to higher altitudes.
Our basket has a door for ease of entry.
It’s a fun experience for many occasions and events!
Give us a call at 833.788.8687 to discuss the possibilities for your next event. We can typically fly around 40 passengers per hour per balloon. The best times of day for tethered events are usually early morning, late afternoon and into the evening hours. This is when the winds are the calmest and most predictable. We are allowed to tether after sunset. This is the most popular tether time.
Give us a call to discuss the opportunities for your event.
