Flying in a hot air balloon is in many ways a calm and peaceful experience, but it’s also an adventure-filled outdoor activity, and the landing is definitely the part of the flight that offers the most action.
Sometimes the basket drags along the ground for a while before stopping, and occasionally the basket may tip over during landing. Balloons have been landing like this for over 200 years, and it’s completely normal.
The balloon and basket are built for this, and safety is top-notch even during landing. The pilot provides you with thorough instructions both before and during the flight on how to handle the landing.
The landing is an exciting part of the experience, and passengers often say afterward that the landing was the best part of the flight!
