You will experience the joy of zigzagging up hills to ride up on hill tops looking over the valley, riding around meadows where horses are grazing, then for those that feel comfortable, we will try short spurts of trotting in open paths.
This ride is available all year round, weather permitting, and with the exclusion of holidays.
Please call ahead as reservations are required, to allow the proper horse being reserved, and space available.

Your Hot Air Balloon adventure begins when you meet your Pilot and Flight Crew approximately a 1/2-hour before sunrise or 2 hours before sunset in a quaint little town known as Elora. At the launch site, your flight crew will brief you on your upcoming balloon adventure. Then, you will watch with awe as your balloon takes shape before your eyes, ultimately standing more than 10 stories tall. Once fully inflated and ready for take off, you will climb into the gondola and begin your Hot air ballooning adventure that will give new meaning to the word serenity. If you are wondering how cold it will be, what we suggest is simply dressing as if going skiing or snowshoeing and we guarantee you will be toasty warm which indeed will make you forget all about Winter's cold and become enchanted at the gorgeous Winter scenery!
During your flight you will get a spectacular bird's eye view of the picturesque Elora and Fergus Winter sights as you gently drift over the countryside where you will watch out for wildlife and take in the magnificent views. Depending on wind direction you may gently drift over the Elora Gorge, and follow the river as it winds and carves the landscape. Here you will have many opportunities to take pictures of the marvelous country winter views.
After about an hour in the air, your pilot will be on the look out for a safe landing spot. This will add to this exciting experience as you slowly and gently glide down towards the ground, here the balloon may almost skim tree tops and corn fields which definitely gives you a glimpse of the 'bird eye view'. Once on the ground, together with your crew, you will share in the oldest of ballooning traditions; a winter version of the champagne toast; delicious hot chocolate with a splash of Bailey's Irish Creme liquer! After the celebration your crew, pilot will be shuttled back to the original meeting spot where you can make your way home or enjoy a wonderful meal in some of Elora's finest restaurants.
Flights are approximately 1 hour in length, however we do require you for up to 3 1/2hours.
Included: Hot air balloon tour, services of a professional pilot, and a traditional champagne toast.
