2.Mt. Rainier Sunset Balloon Ride with Champagne

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 11 reviews · 2h 30m · from $405Top rated

Meet the Seattle Ballooning crew south of Seattle, watch the balloon inflate, then float for 45 to 60 minutes above rivers, lakes, and farmland. Your FAA-certified pilot may take you 3,000 to 5,000 feet above the ground, with Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helens, Puget Sound, and the Seattle skyline in view.

“This was an AWESOME experience! You get to watch them blow up the balloon and float thousands of feet into the air. Mount Rainier looks phenomenal on a clear day and you can see so much for so far. You can see the rivers and the mountains at most angles. There's something beautiful to see at every angle. The entire crew was friendly. It was truly an experience worthwhile.”
