What to Do

Book an exclusive hot air balloon ride and glide peacefully over the landscape and lakes and past the mountains at sunrise or sunset. With Seattle Ballooning, you’ll get a close-up view of Mt Rainier (which no other balloon side service in Seattle provides), champagne and freshly-baked croissants from Seattle’s famous Bakery Nouveau.
