Highlights

Celebrating 40+ years in business!
Fly in a hot air balloon and soar over the beautiful Black Hills. Make memories that will last forever.


Your Adventure Awaits! Black Hills Balloons flies in the southern Black Hills, making the Custer area, including the world-renowned Custer State Park the heart of our flying area. Your flight will vary over mountains, valleys, lakes and prairies - it's one of the best ways to view the Black Hills; home to elk, antelope, whitetail deer, buffalo and mule deer. If you're lucky, you might even see a mountain lion from our secure gondola! The Black Hills are the only place in the world where you can witness such historic, wild landscape and abundant wildlife from a hot air balloon.


Phone hours are 8am - 8pm daily.
