It was really good! We thought it was very well organised it was just a bit of a big chunk out of the day!

I had booked my flight for February 27th and was told 6 days prior that flights that day were cancelled due to winds so instead i booked February 24th at 6 am. Everyone wants to get the pics and ride with all the other balloons in the air. That didn’t happen for us. We arrived at the balloon port at 6:55. Everyone filled out waivers and tickets before 7:15. We would’ve still been able to see the sunrise and be apart of the other balloons but NOPE. We didn’t get into the air until CLOSE TO 9 AM. We were the last ones in the air then our balloon got stuck in a tree when landing. The breakfast wasn’t good and if that’s i closed with the price of the ticket, it’s a sham. Overall i would definitely do the balloon ride again but with a different company. We waited two hours to get into the air. It was ridiculous and all over the place
