You must complete a single transaction for all passengers in your group. Please note that a hot air balloon basket can typically accommodate up to 4 people. If your group includes 4 or more passengers, you will be divided into smaller subgroups.
After Purchase
A few weeks before your flight, you will receive an email asking you to provide some information about the passengers, such as spoken language, weight, and age. This information is necessary to assign you to a hot air balloon.
