What it's like

Up, Up and Away is a helium balloon ride on CocoCay, a small island in The Bahamas. The balloon is a named attraction on the island, and it lifts riders straight up above the beaches and the water.

A ride lasts about 10 minutes and climbs to 450 feet, the highest vantage point in The Bahamas. From the basket you can see the island, its white beaches and the water around it. Plan for the height and weight limits before you join the line.

Good to know

  • Riders must be at least 48 inches tall, weigh at least 75 lbs, and weigh no more than 275 lbs.
  • The ride is open to all ages that meet the height and weight limits.
