4.00Over it was a great experience. The pilot of the balloon was very informative and entertaining. He has piloted over 10,000 rides. It was a perfect morning and we had an hour in the air. One amazing fact is the pilot landed the basket directly on the trailer they use to transport it. That was a touch of skill I doubt you see much. The basket itself weighs around 1500 pounds. To set the scene the wind was light which makes a big difference. But remember that the only control the pilot has is heat to change the height of the balloon. The rest is the varying speed and direction of the winds at different altitudes. And while the they position the pickup and trailer for the pilot the last few minutes and maybe 60-100 feet left to go it is all the pilot. So think of this like parachuting into a chair placed a couple minutes before you land. A shout out also to the crew that supports the process. My one small criticism would be the photographer who made a relatively small attempt to sell his services for $250. Seemed rather expensive and it also seemed a bit too commercial. Like the photos you buy after a Disney ride. But then again the photographer has a living the make.
Tons of fun

5.00We had a great time for my girlfriend’s birthday. We arrived early, checked in, and got assigned to Pete as he was on the birthday balloon. It was fun and we floated around Temecula but remember that you can only go where the wind allows. I wouldn’t go again because I’m not a big fan f heights but my girlfriend is already planning another ride. I also got the Bundt cake for her and it was delicious

5.00Absolutely stunning experience! The views were breathtaking—endless skies, soft morning light, and landscapes that felt almost unreal. The weather was perfect, adding to the sense of calm and quiet excitement as we floated above it all. The hot air balloon flight was breathtaking, but what truly made it exceptional was our pilot, Bill. His skill and confidence were evident from takeoff to landing—everything felt smooth, safe, and effortless.
