Affordable quality hot air balloon rides

Active Adventure

Sunballoon Company is a Hot Air Balloon company that specializes in Birthday, Anniversary, Sightseeing tours, and Company Party hot air balloon rides. If you’re looking for things to do anywhere near San Diego, going on a hot air balloon flight is a great way to tour the area and have a little adventure at the same time.

Our San Diego hot air balloon flights meet in the beautiful coastal city of Del Mar and fly over the famed town of Rancho Santa Fe where you can find some of the most luxurious estates in the country. Temecula offers a spectacular view spanning over the lush landscapes of a plethora of wineries.

Our highly trained and skilled pilots and crew will make every effort to make your balloon flight a truly once in a lifetime experience! The quality of our equipment and flying skills are all geared towards the end goal of giving you, our customer, the balloon ride of your life. Our pilots have safely flown more than 114,000 passengers over the Del Mar and Temecula flight corridors. We pride ourselves as being one of the most experienced balloon companies in the United States. Your safety and comfort is our number one priority. We utilize new passenger vehicles, support equipment and state of the art balloons.

Once aloft, you will float on a sea of tranquility, experiencing the true spirit of man's first method of flight. While drifting along there will be no movement of air because you have become one with the wind! After the pilot guides the balloon to a landing site, the professional ground crew prepares to take over, thus allowing your pilot to set up a table with a colorful balloon tablecloth, the wicker picnic basket and the cooler with all the traditional beverages for a fine celebration party and toast. A framed photo with a flight certificate is presented to each passenger.
