What Our Guests Say
A selection of reviews left on Google Maps.
I looked at the website over and over, unable to make up my mind. In the end I trusted the instinct I felt the moment I saw the balloon — I want to be up there — pushed my nerves aside and booked, on my own. I'm so glad I did. The staff were kind and explained everything carefully, so by the time we were inflating the balloon my nerves were gone and I was one hundred percent excitement.
Solo traveller
Rain was forecast for our original date so we postponed, and even then the phone and email support was thoughtful. It was our first time in a balloon, but they let us help with everything from setting up to packing down, and it felt like we flew together as a team.
Family of three, flight + stay package
The weather was perfect and it turned into the best flight we could have hoped for. With the crew's help I also pulled off the proposal. It's a memory we'll carry for the rest of our lives.
