About this tour
Watch sunrise spill across Mount Rainier from the quiet lift of a hot air balloon. This Seattle sunrise hot air balloon ride offers a fresh perspective on the Pacific Northwest, with views that can stretch across the Cascade Range and Puget Sound.
After meeting beside the valet at Muckleshoot Casino and Resort, take in the pre-flight orientation before rising above a landscape of farmland, forests, and rivers. In-flight narration brings the scenery into focus, while the changing morning light makes a memorable backdrop for photos. The experience lasts about 180 minutes and finishes with a celebratory toast: champagne or sparkling juice, alongside bottled water. Flights are led by FAA-certified pilots, according to the provider.
Choose this Seattle sunrise hot air balloon ride for a peaceful start to the day and a striking view of Washington from above. Reserve your flight and see the mountain country in the first light of morning.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.05 from 13 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Seattle
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.4.
