The loud roar of the burners turns into a soft hiss. The basket under you feels stable and strong. You can hear the wind pushing you over lush farmlands, flowing rivers, and the shining horizon of the Cascade Range. There is no engine noise or turbulence. This is what hot air balloon rides in Snohomish, WA, are all about: freedom, beauty, and the peaceful amazement that comes from witnessing the earth from a thousand feet aloft.
Balloon Depot has been making sunrises and sunsets into memories you’ll never forget since 1978. In the middle of the Snohomish Valley, your trip begins with a spotless safety record, a motivated crew, and a fleet of colorful balloons.
Every Snohomish hot air balloon flight is different. Sometimes you can see animals along the riverbanks, and other times you can see the golden glow of farms ready for harvest in late summer. No two flights are ever the same.
Early mornings in Snohomish are magical—the mist clings to the valley floor, and the air is crisp and still. Perfect for those who want maximum flight time and tranquil skies.
If you’re a sunset chaser, this is your golden hour in the sky. Watch as the sun dips toward the horizon, painting the Snohomish Valley in pinks, golds, and purples.
Whether you’re proposing, celebrating an anniversary, or simply wanting the sky to yourselves, our private charter balloon is pure magic.
Once a year, we trade green fields for snow-covered valleys. This exclusive getaway includes luxury lodging and breathtaking winter flights over the Methow Valley.
With over four decades of accident-free flights, we take safety as seriously as we take the view. Our experienced crew ensures every hot air balloon ride in Snohomish, WA, is as secure as it is breathtaking.
Our balloon fleet is a flying work of art; it includes:
Each is built by Cameron Balloons, which is globally recognized for craftsmanship and safety.
Every flight is a moving postcard, from patchwork fields and sparkling lakes to the snowcapped peaks of Mount Baker and the Cascades.
The valley’s unique weather patterns offer calm winds, especially at sunrise, giving you smoother, longer flights.
From the time you get to the launch pad to the sound of glasses clinking at your post-flight party, we make sure that every aspect is memorable.
You can bring cameras and phones! We think a wrist strap is the safest way to go. The FAA says that you can't fly drones from the balloon itself, but you can get fantastic footage of the launch and landing from the ground.
If things change before your flight, we may have to delay, change, or cancel it. You can plan another hot air balloon flight in Snohomish, WA, for free if your first one is canceled.
We don't have a specific weight limit, but we do need to know how much each passenger weighs ahead of time so that we can organize the flight safely. This helps us figure out how much fuel we need and how to balance the basket.
Flying since 1978, we’ve shared our passion for ballooning across the scenic Puget Sound region. With over 40 years of accident-free experience.
