Flying in a hot air balloon is, in many ways, a calm and peaceful experience, but it’s also an adventurous outdoor activity, with the landing being the most exciting part of the flight.
Sometimes the basket hovers over the ground for a while before stopping, and it can also tip over during landing. This is how balloons have landed for over 200 years, and it’s completely normal.
The balloon and basket are built for this, and safety is high even during landing. The pilot will provide thorough instructions on how to behave during landing both before and after the flight.
The landing is an exciting part of the experience, and it’s often the case that passengers feel the landing was the best part of the entire flight!
