Join us for an unforgettable experience! Big Sky Balloon Company. is the premier hot air balloon ride operator in Central Oregon. We offer scenic hot air balloon flights in this remarkable part of the Pacific Northwest.

Ballooning is a hands on experience and we welcome you to help with the inflation as well as the take down of the balloon if you like.

We conduct one flight a day early in the morning when wind conditions are calm and the air is stable. Flight times vary depending on the time of year, we typically like to be in the air within 1 hour of sunrise.
