We can operate the balloon twice per day during sunset and sunrise. Balloons need stable winds to operate effectively; the hours before sunset and after sunrise are best for finding these winds. We can’t fly the balloon from two hours after sunrise to two hours before sunset due to thermal activity throughout the day.
The sunrise flight meeting time is 4:00 A.M. in the town of Carmen in Central Bohol; the balloon inflation setup will begin at 5:00 AM and take off shall be done just before 6:00 AM. A flight briefing will be given to all the passengers by the pilot in command.
The sunset flight meeting time is 3:00 P.M. in the town of Carmen in Central Bohol; the balloon inflation setup will begin at 4:00 PM and take off shall be done just before 5:00 PM.
Flight duration is dependent of the wind speed at the surface and aloft. The wind direction can also directly impact the duration of the flight. Flights usually last around 45 minutes but in case of strong winds aloft, this duration could be shorter and in case of slow winds aloft, this duration could be longer. It is the responsibility of the pilot to ensure that the aircraft will land safely and any flight duration requirements are not taken into account when choosing the appropriately safe landing site.
Take off site and landing area are usually in Sagbayan area or neighboring towns of Sagbayan, there is no specific take off and landing site. The Pilot will choose the best area to take off depending on wind direction and wind speed.
The passenger capacity of the basket depends on the target altitude of the flight, the temperature of the air at the surface and the total weight of the passengers. For the typical flights that we conduct in the Chocolate Hills of Bohol, we summarize this capacity to be 12 passengers for a sunrise flight and 8 passengers for a sunset flight. However, considering the high number of passengers requested, the following figures need to be used instead:
For a sunrise flight, using standard atmospheric conditions in the Philippines and for a maximum target altitude of 3000 feet Mean Sea Level, a maximum weight of 575 Kg will be allowed for the passenger exclusively.
For a sunset flight, using standard atmospheric conditions in the Philippines and for a maximum target altitude of 3000 feet Mean Sea Level, a maximum weight of 478 Kg will be allowed for the passenger exclusively.
We fly minimum of four (4) passengers. For couple or solo travelers we have to add them to another group. In the event that we don’t get additional bookings for their desired day to complete the minimum passengers of four (4) they have the option to pay for a price of 18,000.00 pesos or we can put them in another flight day with the other groups.
Agencies/resorts must give the full name and contact number of the passenger and must provide the body weight information individually.
Agencies/resorts must inform the passenger(s) regarding our terms and conditions, cancellation and rebooking policies.
