Sunrise balloon - This was our FIRST ever hot air balloon ride. We went for a sunrise option. We were collected from our hotel in a mini bus at 4:45am - 9 of us (5 adults, 4 children (3,4,6,10)). I would say it was around 45-1hr trip to the balloon location. Greeted by friendly staff offered cold drinks & tea , there were also muffins available. You are offered to go inside a tent that is decorated beautifully where you fill in forms. A photographer also comes around and offers you their services, this is an additional cost but it wasn't overly expensive. There are toilets that are nice and clean. You then get back in the mini bus and drive out into desert/open land. The balloon is also driven out at the same time so everything is set up while you are there. I would say the setting up and take off of the bloon was rather hectic and quite scary, especially for the children. The basket of the balloon is led on its side and you are put in lying down on your back. The balloon is then inflated with large metal fans that are on generators so the noise and smell is quite intense, all while the staff are running around to get the balloon up. After a bit of rocking back and forth from the staff, our basket was upright and we were ready to go. When you were up in the sky it is lovely and peaceful. It's silent other than when the pilot initiates the gas. It did take us a while to get off the ground so the sun was already in the sky. However, the views were still beautiful. On Landing you advised to get into the brace position. Obviously this made the children a little bit scared considering what takeoff was like but our landing was actually very smooth and the basket stayed upright and we climbed out over the top. You then get back into your minibus and drive back to the tent where a massive berber breakfast is laid out for you. The quantities of food are huge and it's all lovely but it was just far too much results to get. You are then giving you a certificate to prove that you went on your balloon flight. Overall I would say this is awards and lifetime experience. If not a little bit scary I would recommend it but I probably wouldn't do it again.

Soaring over the Atlas. - If you’re visiting Marrakech and debating whether a sunrise balloon ride is worth the early wake-up—let me save you the suspense. With Marrakech Dream Ballooning, it’s not just worth it. It’s unforgettable. From the start, the experience was smooth and welcoming. We arrived before dawn and were invited into a cozy, beautifully decorated tent where we were offered on fresh Moroccan tea, coffee, and water, enjoyed traditional cake, and relaxed as we awaited transport. The hospitality was warm and genuine—exactly what you hope for at that hour. Transport to the launch site was timely and well-organized. The crew operated like clockwork, efficiently inflating the balloons in near silence while the sky slowly began to glow. Their professionalism inspired confidence, and it was clear this wasn’t their first flawless takeoff. Our balloon captain struck the perfect balance between calm expertise and easy charm, guiding us across the horizon as the sun rose behind the majestic Atlas Mountains. The stillness up there, with nothing but the occasional burner flame and panoramic beauty below, was truly magical. After landing, we were treated to a traditional Berber breakfast, served fresh and enjoyed outdoors. It was the perfect grounding experience after floating through the Moroccan sky. From there, we were transported back to our hotel—tired, yes, but filled with awe and gratitude. The views, the people, the professionalism—it all makes Marrakech Dream Ballooning a five-star, must-do experience. It’s not just an activity. It’s a moment of wonder you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

Hot air balloon - Fantastic from start to finish, they keep you informed for picking you up,staff really friendly and professional, would recommend them great team.

Sunrise hot air balloon - From the moment we were picked up by Saeed, our driver, we knew we were in for a treat. He was incredibly helpful and friendly, setting a wonderful tone for the adventure ahead. Upon arrival, Mohammed, our host, was equally fantastic, offering a warm and welcoming reception. Before our flight, we enjoyed a delightful spread of tea and cake, a perfect pre-balloon treat. The hot air balloon ride itself was an absolute dream. Our pilot, Captain Holger Dirksen, was not only skilled but also a lot of fun, making the experience even more enjoyable. Watching the sunrise at 6 AM from the balloon was truly super and beautiful, an unforgettable sight. After our magnificent flight, we returned to the starting point for a great spread of breakfast and refreshing mint tea, a perfect end to a perfect morning.

Amazing - Otmane made our experience (ball flight) the best I've ever had. I recommend it 100 percent. Thank you very much.

Balloon trip - A great experience. From booking to final drop off. Everything was hassle free. Well organised. Excellent communication. Very friendly staff. The actual flight experience was excellent. The pilot was very engaging (and very professional). Overall a great experience, and would definitely recommend this company.

Add to your bucket list - This should be on everyone's bucket list...an experience from start to finish.. a very expert around crew ... Suitable for all ages

Top of the list of things to do - Great time, well organized, safe and fun. Worth getting the drone footage too! It was a great way to spend the morning and get out of the city center to see the Atlas Mountains, desert and surrounding landscape of Marrakesh

Old balloun, with holes - We booked the first flight of the day to see the sunrise. We woke up at 4am in the morning to be ready for the taxi that was waiting for us at 4:40. We were ready to get in the balloun when they detected a hole in our balloun (the 5 other ones were ok). Since the beginning, we could see that this balloun was older that others. No plan B like an extra balloun. They offer us a refund or to wait for a later flight. We picked the later flight, so we waited for an extra 2 hours on the site. But in the end, it doesn't worth the money. Without the sunrise, there's nothing to see except fields. The city is too far to see it, the montains as well. The staff were very friendly though, but in my opinion, they should have tried to compensate for the situation. They offered us a 20 Euro refund, that is not enough for the waste of time and the lost of the sun rise.
