Galena On The Fly, Galena

Run by enthusiastic pilots who have more than 30,000 hours of combined flight experience, Galena On The Fly is all about sharing the love for hot-air balloon flights with its customers. Group and private flights are available at sunrise and sunset and let the participants experience the one-of-the-kind excitement that comes with being lifted off in one of the country's biggest air balloons.

As the balloon majestically sails through the air, the passengers have a chance to watch the Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin countryside from up to 3,000 feet above the ground. They may also get lost in the remarkable peacefulness of the flight, where quite often the only time they might feel a little bit of stronger breeze is when the pilot changes the altitude or the wind decides to speed for a minute. At other times, if they so wish and the weather permits, they may be privy to the thrill of skirting through the tops of the trees or even skimming the gondola in Lake Galena. Whatever shape the flight takes, one thing is certain: the experience is entirely unique.
