Float over the South Saskatchewan River and view Saskatoon from new heights.

Your thrilling experience begins when you meet with your friendly pilot and crew.  Once the hot air balloon is inflated and the pilot determines the balloon is ready for flight, you will climb into the basket. When the air inside of the balloon reaches the correct temperature, the balloon will gradually rise above the tree tops, over a thousand feet into the sky. As you float over Saskatoon, you will travel peacefully at wind speed for approximately one hour.

Towards the end of your journey, the balloon will begin to descend back down to earth where you'll enjoy a traditional champagne toast.

Whether you are looking for a unique gift or for a way to celebrate a special occasion, this Saskatoon Hot Air Balloon Ride is the ticket!
