I've already told others it's a must! Where else would you see the earth that high, no glass barriers and just floating so calmly, taking in all that beautiful scenery? It was a great experience being involved with setting and packing up and finishing off with a great champaign breakfast. It was a magical experience and thank you for a great morning. Cheers

The ride was absolutely breath taking. My Wife loved it so much that she wants to do it again. I've never seen her so thrilled about a ride so much as this one. The ride was smooth, quiet and the view was spectacular a once in a lifetime experience.

The Hot Air Ballooning experience was a gift for my partner, as i wanted him to share in a feeling that he gives me every day - Being on top of the world feeling at peace. We both thoroughly enjoyed the day and would recommend it to others.

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Everyone was friendly -both crew and fellow passengers. The whole event was enjoyable. From the 4am rising, finding our unfamiliar way to the airport in the dark (a bit concerning to be there on time), the flight itself of course (the anticipation/excitement) and the delicious breakfast (and champagne) afterwards.....would recommend this experience to others.

This was our first experience in a balloon. Our expectation was a little tentative mainly due to height, no engine and how were we going to land. The flight was absolutely spectacular and with an obviously experienced pilot, everything felt extremely safe and our landing was absolutely safe. Back at base we settled in for a great breaky and we were happy to just sit around for a yarn. Many thanks

The communication of what was to happen, why, and generally the overall professional attitude of the complete team made for a very enjoyable and relaxing morning.

The whole experience of the balloon ride was amazing. I loved the fact that we got to get stuck in and helped with the setting up the balloon up and packing it away. The ride was so good and what was more of a surprise was the lovely location and delicious breakfast.

A very enjoyable experience, even for my girlfriend who is scared of heights (now my fiance, as I proposed while in the air in the balloon). Everyone was very congratulary after they found out I'd popped the question, afterwards the champagne breakfast was spectacular.

This experience was absolutely the BEST thing that I've done. The balloon 'coming to life' was fantastic. The pilot was very nice and put everyone at ease. This was a 50th birthday present for me, I loved it so much. It was great to see the dawn of a new day in a balloon.

Hot air ballooning was fantastic. It was a perfect morning and we could see for miles. Breakfast afterwards was really nice, topped off with a champagne.

I really enjoyed it. The only down side was a lack of participation by the other passengers. Other than that, it was great fun.

The peace and serenity of the flight. It engenders a calm that make the cares of one's everyday life drift away with the light breezes. The bump on landing unfortunately brings you back to reality. I can now understand why balloonists fly so often. It's much more than just escaping the wife and kids - which, of course, isn't a bad thing at times!
