Taking San Diego Sights to New Heights

UP, UP, AND AWAY!

From the sandy beach to the mountain peaks, witness spectacular San Diego from high above on a hot air balloon ride with Compass Balloons (https://www.compassballoons.com/home).

After lift-off, you’ll peacefully float 3,000 feet up in the air, taking in the stunning landscape below before gently landing in a large field where you’ll enjoy a customary champagne toast to cap off this one-of-a-kind experience!

WHAT’S UP WITH THE BUBBLY?

It’s a long-standing tradition to enjoy a champagne toast after each hot air balloon ride, a custom that originated in France when balloon pilots would often land in startled farmers’ fields and began carrying bottles onboard to hand out as peace offerings. Cheers!

A BRIEF BALLOON HISTORY

Hot air balloons have been around since 1793 when two French brothers launched a balloon over Versailles with a sheep, duck, and rooster as the only passengers. One month later, they invited humans onboard and successfully brought hot air ballooning to life.
