This was a really exceptional experience, and I recommend it to everyone! I really wanted to try flying in a hot air balloon and on our early morning flight we saw some amazing scenery. This is probably among the most amazing things I’ve done this year. They were just six of us in the basket of the balloon with our pilot, Artiom, who not only is a registered pilot, but also has been skydiving, in addition to his skill as a balloon operator. We all felt confident in his hands. The Smile Balloon people picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off afterward. We communicated through WhatsApp and we had to be flexible because balloon flights depend on the weather and prevailing winds. So, in this case, we left early and we flew over Trakai Castle, so you should be prepared to change your plans and reschedule your activities to fit in the weather.

Fabulous trip over Trakai. Early morning with jet lag but well worth it.

Book now. Don't wait. An absolutely magical experience flying over Trakai. We had booked for a Sunday, and due to the weather being bad for flying, they managed to get us in on Saturday instead - I loved that they proactively reached out and worked with us to get us scheduled earlier. The flight was peaceful and beautiful, and absolutely worth it

Amazing flight over trakai. Whole staff and a pilot are great people. The flight was magical with an escort of aeroplanes which came and next to us after the pilot contacted them via radio.

Amazing and friendly team of pilots. It was not scary at all. There was a convenient transfer. At the end we were treated to champagne and given certificates. Everything was amazing!
