Unbelievable experience - We received a message the day before to confirm the pick up time. The driver was on time and it took 30 minutes from our hotel to the location of the balloon ride. We were greeted with tea, coffee and water by the very friendly staff. Everything was easy and smooth and we were boarding our balloon ride before we knew it. Our balloon pilot was called ABDUL. I must say he was so friendly with everyone, spoke many languages and made sure everyone was having a great time explaining what was happening and threw in a few jokes here and there which made us all laugh. What a pleasure it was to have him in charge of our balloon. The ride was fantastic and a must do experience whilst in Marrakesh. I would highly recommend this trip. We were up there for a full hour and we did go very high too compared to a lot of other ballon’s we could see. Once back on the ground we were met with a drink and breakfast. There are toilet facilities here and they were extremely clean too.

That was awesome! - A great performance from A to Z. It was really a hovering experience. Thanks to Benoît, our pilot, for making us live this exceptional moment. The whole team who took care of us from the start of our riad until the return was at the top!

Magic moment - Great experience with perfect organization. Taxi arrives and takes us back to the exact time. The sunrise on board the balloon with a view of the atlas and marrackech is simply magical.

Fantastic trip - can be highly recommended - Great trip! It all worked perfectly: pickup, the balloon trip itself, which was completely magical and breakfast afterwards. Communicating about pickup was easy via TripAdvisor.

Floating on air. Great ballloon ride. - Really enjoyed the balloon ride. I had booked for 6am but pick up then changed to 6.30am. I had expected it to be lifting off for sunrise but we didn’t get in the air till 8.20am… however, that meant we could watch the first balloon get in the air and watch them from the ground as the sun came up which was pretty cool. Superb pilot, perfect weather, no breeze so the whole experience felt like we were floating. If you want to be in the air for sunrise get the first session. We only had an option for 6am so there must have been sessions earlier that had sold out but that wasn’t clear on the booking site. Despite that we all had a fantastic experience and would definitely recommend it.

Great experience, average provider - As an experience 100% recommend. Watching the sun rise over Morroco was beautiful. That said, there are some things which could have been handled better. As noted on other reviews, the journey was nowhere near the promised "around one hour". It was much closer to 20 minutes and we flew far lower than many other balloons, quite probably to save on fuel and increase their profits despite other experiences being priced similarly and going much higher or further. The landing was, in a word, brutal. They came in too fast the first time and we skidded across the ground hard, before rising up into the air and attempting a second landing. As long as you are physically fit and not in any risk groups you should be fine, although you might come out with a few aches/pains or a bit of whiplash. The Morrocon breakfast after we landed was good. Local fare and fruit in plentiful supply, along with tea and coffee. Overall a good experience, but check out the various providers and consider renting one of the smaller/private baskets if it's within your budget.
