Our balloon rides occur at dawn, perfect for starting your day. Because we fly at dawn, this allows you the flexibility to enjoy the rest of the day exploring Gatlinburg, shopping in Pigeon Forge or many other activities in the Smoky Mountain National Park region.​

The Great Smoky Mountains!

 When booking a balloon ride in Tennessee, know that you are dealing directly with the Owner and the Pilot. We are not a gift certificate broker, or an aggregator that books rides for other balloon companies. When you call us or book online you will know immediately if the date you  would like is available. You will not have to wait for a call back, while we try to find a Pilot to fly you. You can count on us for all of your ballooning requests.

What's Up Ballooning is locally owned and operated by Ray Fournier and his wife Mary Ann.  Both are pilots, hot air balloon repairmen and former FAA aviation safety counselors.  Their passion for ballooning encompasses all aspects of the sport.
