Full description

Valley Ballooning is located in Woodstock, VA and offers flights from the heart of the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. Flying over the Shenandoah is truly rewarding and offers spectacular views. Some things you may see on your flight include:

The Blue Ridge Mountains
The Appalachian Mountains
The Seven Bends of the Shenandoah River
The eastern white tailed deer
Many wine vineyards

Hot air ballooning offers a unique way to witness the beauty and splendor of nature that no other form of aviation can offer.
Balloon flights are typically flown in the first hour after sunrise or the last hour of daylight before sunset. During the day the air becomes much more active and it becomes unsafe for a balloon flight. During the cooler months it is possible to fly during the day because convection currents are not as strong. Our flights are usually 30 to 60 minutes in length.

It was very amazing. I love it.

If you want to have a unique experience of enjoying the fall foliage, there's nothing better than going for a balloon ride! Don from Valley Ballooning is an experienced professional who prioritizes safety and makes sure you have a memorable experience. The crew on board, such as Randal, are super nice and even share pictures they take of you. The weather and wind conditions can be unpredictable but Don navigates through it with expertise. Although it may not be the most affordable experience, it is definitely worth it and I am grateful for the opportunity to have done it. If you're considering it, let me encourage you to go for it!

Don is an exceptional pilot who offers a must-try experience. The fall colors were breathtaking, and Don's expertise ensured that all four of us could enjoy the beauty of the valley. I highly recommend this experience.
