Up, Up and Away in a Hot Air Balloon
Lancaster County's countryside is well-known for its scenic views and stunning landscapes. And there’s no better place to get a bird’s-eye view of Amish Country than going hot air ballooning. From up in the clouds you’ll get amazing views Amish farms, horses and buggies, quaint small towns, rolling hills, and unspoiled farmland. During your next visit to Lancaster County, embark on the adventure of a lifetime with The United States Hot Air Balloon Team.
The United States Hot Air Balloon Team offers sunrise and sunset flights that depart from their launch site in nearby Bird-in-Hand, just five minutes from After Eight Bed & Breakfast. 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 sky for a one-hour flight, where you'll float serenely over the beautiful Amish countryside. Enjoy the breathtaking splendor of Lancaster County farmland, flying over quaint communities of Intercourse, Bird-in-Hand and Strasburg. On a clear day, you might even see the headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay or Delaware Bay! 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. Cap off your journey of a lifetime with a champagne toast and refreshments that are included as part of this memorable experience.
