Hot Air Balloon Rides in Coloma, California
Located just 45 minutes East of Sacramento between Placerville and Auburn on Historic Highway 49. Flying Gold Country and the American River Valley Daily!
Launching the balloon from the banks of the American River near Sutter’s Mill is a spectacular experience. During the flight you will be treated to unique views of the valley and a true ballooning adventure. We may even do a little whitewater “Splash & Dash” and actually float down the river with the balloon if conditions allow and passengers don’t mind a bit of water! An amazing way to see the American River Valley! This is adventure ballooning at its best! It is not like many other popular ballooning locations with low rolling hills and wide open fields to land in. We will be flying over water, tall trees, and stunning scenery. In the early morning hours it is not unusual to see a variety of wildlife. Landings often involve flying at treetop level and quickly dropping into a small meadow for a soft landing! We follow up each flight with a champagne celebration and gourmet French picnic at the landing site. Come out and experience California’s most spectacular hot air balloon ride location!  Balloon rides also make for an incredibly unique gift for nearly any occasion. 
“Once you have flown, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned
skyward, for there you have been, and there you long to return.” - Leonardo da Vinci
