The Adventure

Turn your balloon adventure into a full countryside getaway. Stay overnight and explore the charming regions of St. Jacobs and Elora — where local markets, farm-fresh dining, boutique shops, and scenic riverside trails invite you to slow down and take it all in. Just a short drive from Toronto, it’s the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation — a memorable escape that feels a world away. Every hot air balloon flight is a true adventure — calm, breathtaking, and unforgettable. From lift-off to landing, the full experience lasts about 3 to 4 hours, including setup, launch, flight, and a post-landing celebration. Because ballooning depends on calm winds and clear skies, flights are scheduled around the best weather conditions for a smooth and scenic journey. Flights launch from picturesque locations chosen for weather and safety — most often near St. Jacobs or Stratford. Both regions offer stunning rural landscapes with rolling farmland, winding rivers, and small-town charm that make every flight a photographer’s dream. Operated by Sundance Balloons, Canada’s leading balloon company since 1985, you’ll fly with experienced, licensed pilots who have safely shared the magic of flight with guests for over 40 years. Whether it’s your first time or a lifelong dream, this is an adventure you’ll remember forever.
