Watch (and participate!) in the inflation of up to six 100-foot tall balloons being filled with over 200,000 cubic feet of air. Slowly ascend over the Willamette Valley while you gaze out at wine country, mountain peaks and volcanos, the river below, and up to five other balloons flying with you.

A balloon ride was a wonderful way to start the day. I bought a gift certificate for my wife's birthday. We had booked our original trip for July, but the conditions were not right so the launch was called off. I re-booked for September 4th, and everything was perfect. I helped with filling the balloon and before you know it we were in the air. There was patchy fog that morning and as the balloon lifted us above it, we had a beautiful view. Our pilot, John was very knowledgeable and friendly. The ground crew was great. And we got a rare experience of landing back at the airport. Afterwards we stopped at a local restaurant for breakfast and then we headed home with some great memories.

It was amazing!! We had to reschedule once due to high morning wind but boy was it worth the extra wait. This would be an awesome gift, too.

One of the best anniversary celebrations we have ever had! We celebrated our 36th anniversary with a balloon adventure. Our pilot Kelly was outstanding! There were 9 of us, 11 with the pilot. The basket is quite large, plenty of room for all of us. The ride was smooth, comfortable, and FUN! My husband and I have never flown in a hot air balloon. It will be hard to top this one. Everything about our trip with Vista was excellent. They communicate with you several times in the days before your flight to make sure you know the location and time to meet. We loved helping the crew "blow up" the balloon. At the end we also helped pack up the balloon. What an exciting, amazing experience. We HIGHLY recommend scheduling a flight with Vista Balloon Adventures when you are in the Newburg, Oregon area. It was a short drive from our B & B in Dundee. A fantastic addition to wine tasting. Thank you Kelly and the entire Vista Balloon Adventures team.

We had a balloon trip scheduled for July. The staff were communicative before and morning of that the weather is variable and we might not be able to fly that morning. Indeed the wind conditions weren't good for flying so they had to make the tough call to cancel but I appreciated their focus on safety and that we would have a better experience another day. We called and got it rescheduled for September and can't wait to fly with Vista! They've been great and easy to work with.

High expectations were exceeded. Such a peaceful and unique experience unmatched by any other type of flight. You can’t fully appreciate what it’s like until you actually go... The people at this business love what they do and do it well, which makes the experience that much more enjoyable. Can’t wait to go again!

An unforgettable experience

A hands-on adventure with an approximately 1-hour hot air balloon flight. Fly in one of our 6 balloons which carry from 2 to 10 guests each, gaze out at 10 volcanos on a clear day, skim the Willamette River, and look out at the other balloons around you!
