About

Seattle Ballooning offers one of the most unique sightseeing tours in the Seattle area, providing peaceful hot air balloon rides with beautiful views of Mt. Rainier and the surrounding Washington State landscape.

This Seattle sightseeing tour is a memorable thing to do in Seattle for visitors, couples celebrating special occasions, families, photographers, and both small and large groups. The experience is often recommended as one of the best tours in Seattle for guests looking for a scenic and unforgettable perspective of the region.

Guests can choose between shared hot air balloon rides or private hot air balloon flights, with sunrise and sunset options available. Most flights last approximately one hour and include a traditional post-flight champagne toast. Every flight is operated by FAA-certified commercial pilots using professionally maintained equipment.

On clear days, guests may see Mt. Rainier, rivers, farmland, forests, and expansive views of the Pacific Northwest. Because ballooning is weather dependent, each flight offers a unique perspective of the area.

Seattle Ballooning operates seasonally from May through October. Reservations can be made online at seattleballooning.com or by phone at 206-747-5802.
