Over the Rainbow has been bestowing majestic hot air balloon rides near Seattle floating above the Woodinville Wine Country in complete safety for more than 30 years. With our close proximity to Seattle our hot air balloon rides undeniably have the most spectacular views of Seattle, Lake Washington, Puget Sound as well as the Cascade and Olympic Mountain Ranges. And the experience our balloon team has working together shines and instills confidence in our passengers so you can relax and enjoy the magic of your hot balloon ride. This is evidenced in our online reviews and a few are posted below. Our Woodinville Ballooning location has the easiest access to and from Seattle for your hot air balloon excursion. We are only 20 miles from downtown Seattle by car or 13 miles as the crow flies; we definitely recommend driving!

Hot Air Ballooning is very weather dependent making it one of the most important safety factors. Our main flying season in the Seattle area is June through September when the weather is the most reliable. With Mother Nature’s cooperation, some years we are able to conduct at least a few flights starting in May and even into October. Both morning Sunrise and evening Sunset flights are featured. Our shared basket Hot Air Balloon Rides are the best value. That means singles, couples and smaller groups share a balloon with a total of 6 to 9 people. We find this to be a nice sized group compared to our competitors who are carrying up to 12 people in each balloon. Don’t worry, we only let nice people go for Hot Air Balloon Rides!
