“Thank you Darren and company for a most incredible hot air balloon ride!!! You were so professional and also very people friendly. We appreciated you answering all our questions with a smile on your face. Looking forward to future flights with you. I couldn't have asked for a better 70th birthday present than this ride on a gorgeous day with good people. This feeling will stay with me for a lifetime. Was glad to take this off my bucket list and I will be back. Had such a great time and most enjoyable!! If anyone is thinking about doing this, look up Darren and Big Sky Balloon Co, you won't be disappointed.”

THE FLIGHT EXPERIENCE
You're invited to join us for an unforgettable experience!
Big Sky Balloon Co. is the premier balloon ride operator in Central Oregon. Our hot air balloon flights float you gently over one of the most dramatic landscapes in the country, encompassing high desert terrain of juniper and sage, volcanic rim rock, deep river canyons, and rural farmland. It all begins at our chosen launch site in Redmond OR, where upon take-off you will gently rise up and over one of the most photographed land features in the entire Northwest. As we ascend you will take in the breathtaking panorama of the Central Cascade Mountains which include views of at least ten peaks on a clear day. Also keep an eye out for wildlife and many different birds of prey including Brown and Bald Eagles, Red-Tail Hawks, and Great Horned Owls just to name a few.
Ballooning is a real hands on experience and we welcome you to help with the inflation and deflation of the balloon if you like. After a short safety briefing from your pilot, the inflation begins and you'll watch as this "gentle giant" comes to life. About 15 minutes later the balloon will be upright and ready for lift-off. Upon landing expect about 20-30 minutes of time to deflate and pack up all the equipment, followed by the shuttle ride back to the launch site in our chase vehicle. Total time about three hours.
Have a special occasion coming up? Weddings, engagements, anniversaries, birthdays and more. We've done it all, just let us know what you're planning and we'll be sure to create a memory that will last a lifetime! Gift Certificates are also available, contact us directly for purchase.
“Our imagination loves to be filled with an object, or to grasp at anything that is too big for it’s capacity. We are flung into a pleasing astonishment at such unbounded views, and feel a delightful stillness and amazement in the soul at the apprehension of them.”
