Up, up, and away! Take your autumn adventures to new heights with this exhilarating hot air balloon ride in Ontario.

These sunset trips are offered by Skyward Balloons, which is said to be “Canada’s most reputable hot air balloon company.”

Operated by Transport Canada-approved commercial pilots, you’ll be in good hands as you’re whisked up into the clouds on this colourful vessel.

These balloons can fly anywhere from 500 to 3,000 feet, giving you a breathtaking bird’s eye view of the landscape below.

“You will drift above the beautiful countryside, where you will experience sights like you’ve never seen,” says Skyward Balloons.

“See wildlife in their natural habitat as the wind gently carries you over forests, ponds, and lakes.”
