5.00This was an amazing experience. From booking to the end, Hot Air Expeditions was very informative and responsive. Our original flight was canceled because of wind, but we were easily able to reschedule for the next day. We felt very safe and informed on the ride. The ride in the air was extremely peaceful. The breakfast after landing was great (veggie breakfast burrito, apple turnover, and apple slices with mimosas). Our pilot, Matt, was knowledgeable and funny. Jen, our van driver, was great about getting pictures of our group and took video of our takeoff. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Great Experience, Second to None!!

5.00I booked this same excursion with a friend 4 years ago and I’m happy to say that 4 years later the experience remains top notch! Our pilot John and driver/balloon chaser Jim were great. We booked with hotel transport which was seamless and informative as our driver gave us lots of information during our ride to the meeting point. The entire flight crew was welcoming and friendly, gave clear safety instructions and didn’t hesitate to make the birthday we were celebrating extra special. 1000/10, I’m certain I’ll be back a 3rd time.
A Must Do

Our pilot Tom was EXCELLENT: knowledgeable, personable, charming and a gifted host. Easy take-off, smooth ride, and gentle landing were professionally executed. His crew (Nate, Bruce) provided super service. 5 Stars to all.
