Adirondack Balloon Festival
Lake George, NY
Day 1:
Welcome Aboard! Join your fellow adventurers for
an unparalleled experience in the Adirondack Mountains at the 36th
Adirondack Balloon Festival. Our first destination is the Floyd Bennett
Memorial Airport located in Queensbury, New York, where we will
witness the amazing spectacle of 60 plus balloons launching (weather
permitting). Share in the excitement and pageantry created by
dozens of brilliantly colored balloons ascending into the sky. Later it’s a
short drive to Lake George, New York to check into our waterfront hotel,
the Georgian Resort Hotel for the next two nights. With 450 feet
of lakefront shore, our hotel overlooks beautiful Lake George and the
magnificent Adirondack Mountains. We conclude our day with a delicious
dinner at the hotel’s restaurant. (D)
Day 2:
There are two ways to view the balloons . . .
Stay in bed and hope they sail over the hotel, or rise very early and return to
the airport with your tour escort and driver to witness this morning’s
balloon launch, (weather permitting). Later return to the
hotel for a delicious buffet breakfast before we meet our step-on
guide, and depart for a narrated driving tour of Lake George.
Included on our tour is a photo-stop at Prospect Mountain for a
spectacular view of the Adirondacks. Next we board the Lac du Saint
Sacrement for a 2 hour buffet lunch & entertainment cruise on Lake George.
Relax and enjoy your time on the water. The cruise features some narrated
history of the lake, will take you past secluded islands, tranquil bays, and
provides a unique view of the luxurious mansions along “millionaires row.”
Later we return to the hotel where you will have some leisure time to sit, relax
and freshen up before going out to the airport to witness our final balloon
launch, (weather permitting). We return to our hotel for a delicious
dinner, and a good night’s rest. (B, L, D)
Day 3:
Start the day with a buffet breakfast.
With part of the morning free you can choose to sit, relax, and experience the
comforts of your waterfront hotel, attend church or enjoy a morning stroll along
the waterfront and explore the quaint Village of Lake George. Later we depart
for home, taking with us fond memories of the Adirondack Mountains and the
unforgettable sight of dozens of colored balloons ascending into the sky.
