Up, up and away! There’s no better place to get a bird’s-eye view of the breathtaking Delaware River Valley than going hot air ballooning. From up in the clouds you’ll get amazing views mountains, valleys, vineyards, rivers, and even distant NYC cityscapes. During your next visit to Bucks County, embark on the adventure of a lifetime with Lancaster Balloon Rides.
Don't be confused by the name: Lancaster Balloon Rides offers flights beyond Lancaster County to include Bucks and Chester counties as well. You can take a sunrise or sunset balloon ride that departs from their launch site in New Hope, just 6 miles from the Inn at Bowman's Hill. Each ballooning adventure lasts about three hours. On the ground, you can help the crew assemble the balloon and snap some pictures before liftoff. From launch to landing, learn about ballooning from the experts. Owner Stan Hess and his team have been committed to offering passengers world-class hot air ballooning experiences for nearly three decades. All of the pilots are FAA-approved with more than 10,000 hours in combined experience. So you're guaranteed a safe and entertaining flight.
When the preparations on the ground are complete, you're ready for lift off! Soar into the air for a one-hour heavenly trek through the skies, where you'll float serenely over the scenic Bucks County countryside, along the Pocono Mountains and into New Jersey. From thousands of feet above the ground, enjoy the breathtaking splendor of the Delaware River, horse farms, vineyards, and more. On a clear day, you might even see distant silhouettes of the New York City skyline!
A typical balloon flight can accommodate four to 10 people, or for a more romantic adventure in the clouds, you can book a private, couples-only flight. Bucks County hot air balloon rides make the ideal outing for a romantic adventure or to celebrate an anniversary.
