Wow!

Great Team! Very safe / smooth flight. 7/9/25 (Fathers day) ending was super! Very good experience from the pilot jay! 27 years pays off!

Definitely recommend it well worth your money! Don’t hesitate to go. It’s not scary as you think. Not even if your scars of heights

Jay, our pilot and Rob, our driver, guide, and all-rounder, were incredible. Truly made the experience. It was obvious that the guests' comfort and safety were their utmost priority. Not only that, but also to provide unique experiences within the entire ballooning experience (we got to go inside the balloon, help the team pack it away) It was awesome. The experience itself was magical; the scenic rim is gorgeous to fly above. And the breakfast and wine experience really was the cherry on the cake (we even had the opportunity to feed and walk Alpacas!) Would highly recommend to family and friends.

Our tour guide Olive (hope I remembered his name right) was fantastic—super friendly and helpful! Stuart was an amazing pilot, giving us such a smooth flight and landing. The landscape was absolutely majestic—we enjoyed every second of it!

The buffet breakfast and getting to meet the alpacas were such lovely bonuses. We truly enjoyed every moment of the experience. Highly recommend! I’d love to bring my parents next time as well!

We floated above the tree top, slowly gaining altitude to watch the sun rise and to witness the play of the sunlight and wind on the ground below. Ever so gently the balloon floated, ascended and descended, as if the pilot was following an invisible wind map. With a gentle nudge to the ground we returned to earth.

Jay, our seasoned pilot, was playfully nicknamed “the Wind Whisperer”, by one of the guests, as it seemed as if he was following the whispering of the wind.
Champagne followed by a delicious breakfast, wine tasting and a playful time with llamas completed the adventure .
Our guide and driver, Selena , took great care in ensuring our comfort and her vivacious personality only added to an already memorable experience!
