Welcome to the Island Balloons website! We fly hot air balloons all over Virginia. Our base is near historic Williamsburg and we also fly in the Shenandoah Valley Winchester Virginia. This part of the Valley is one of the most beautiful regions in Virginia, and still only about an hour from the Washington metro area.

Imagine…
~ floating along the treetops,
~ picking a few leaves as souvenirs,
~ seeing the wildlife and smelling the forest,
~ effortlessly drifting along.

At a whim, we climb to several thousand feet and absorb a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire Valley. We fly with the wind. Launch sites are carefully chosen to send the balloon across the valley. Our faithful chase truck follows to meet us at the end of the flight. Upon landing, the crew packs the balloon in the back. Everybody piles in to return to the launch site. We celebrate the flight’s completion with a traditional champagne toast (sparkling cider for those who prefer). Then off we go about our day.

If you are looking for something exciting to do this weekend, this summer, this year, or if you need to check this off your things to do list, contact us at info@virginiaballoonflights.com and schedule a flight for you and some friends or just yourself.

Balloon rides are great for birthdays, graduations, or any occasion. Whether you want to pop the question, tie the knot, or just experience the oldest form of manned flight, Island Balloons provides you with an aerial adventure you will not easily forget.

We primarily fly on weekends, two flights a day, morning, and evening. The price is $225 per person and the balloon can hold up to 5 passengers, limited by weight and temperature with 4 being average. Flight scheduling is on a first-come first-served basis. All flights are weather permitting and there is no charge for weather cancellations. All other cancellations made within 72 hours of the flight time will be charged at $50 per passenger.

Please refer to our FAQs if you have any questions about the flight, or the Area Info page if you need to find a place to stay or something to do.
