Beautiful - Very nice. The crew was absolutely competent and informative. We learned a lot about the area and ballooning. Ascending by balloon at dawn is indescribable.

Bucket list adventure with fellow metastatic breast cancer thrivers - I never had a desire to ride in a hot air balloon but I'm so thankful I decided to do it on our bucket list trip. It was amazing and Mateo was awesome! I highly recommend this spectacular adventure!

Blue skies and balloons - Even with a weather directed alternate site takeoff, we had an amazing trip. Chad was our pilot. Has tons of experience and a pretty dry sense of humor. The whole booking and check-in was flawless.

Bucket list surprised lived up to expectations! - This was such a fabulous experience. I bought this flight as a surprise for my adult daughter. This was a bucket list item for her. It was absolutely perfect. Mateo was THE best pilot. We had a lovely flight and he made us laugh the whole time. The champagne afterwards was icing on the case. Total worth it!

It was just ok - My suggestion is if they offer you the alternate location due to the weather conditions at their primary location ( where you meet) just get a refund. It’s a long drive to a not so scenic location that is mostly suburban housing and agriculture. Although the balloon experience was nice, it’s not $300 a person nice to see the backyards of peoples come. Also our pilot Chad was VERY unapproachable when it came to questions. He was bad talking other pilots and had a very cocky arrogant attitude to him. We got no information from him, no balloon facts. When people would ask him questions it often was met with a sarcastic response. Someone asked where Balloons were allowed to fly “ anywhere we want” so me as a pilot said “ well not in controlled airspace since you don’t have two way radio communications with ATC”. “ well he doesn’t know that” The training pilot Mateo was very nice and when allowed, would answer quests questions and interact. At the end we just wanted to leave but he wanted us to stay for a toast and to add tips. We just wanted wanted to leave. Overall I think if we would have flown in where they intended ( I know very well they can’t control weather and know that’s out of their control I don’t hold that against the company ) but if they do just offer the alternate it’s not worth the 60 min drive for a 30 min flight.
