Another Ontario adventure begins. For the people in that basket (also called a gondola), this hot air balloon ride will be a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

Many of these hot air balloon trips are actually gifts for an anniversary or a special birthday. In recent years, hot air ballooning has become extremely popular, and in North America there are now several thousand hot air balloons making regular flights.
