It was an amazing experience to be floating in silence over the Algarve landscape. The crew were amazing. They were attentive, and accommodating to all passengers. I would recommend the experience to others who are travelling to the Algarve area.

Our family had the best time on this flight; it felt like a true once-in-a-lifetime experience to glide effortlessly above the Algarve during sunrise. Helena, our pilot, was friendly and professional and made me feel at ease. After landing, there was a lovely little picnic; it was the perfect end to an unforgettable morning.
If you’re looking to add a truly special experience to your Algarve vacation, look no further; this experience is absolutely worth your time and money!

Oh wow, thanks Kari .....

I unequivocally recommend this experience. This is coming from someone who watches his spending and is somewhat afraid of heights. The countryside is beautiful and the pilot and equipment are top notch. Our pilot, Helena, demonstrated her years of experience through her careful preparation and command of the balloon. She is a great communicater. Her calm, confident demeanor was infectious. If you plan to only take one hot air balloon ride in your life, take this one.

We had a gorgeous morning and the flight was perfect. Communication with the pilot the night before was excellent and she was a bundle of joy and energy during the trip. It was a safe and professional flight and we enjoyed talking with the pilot and other guests.

Les vues de l'Algarve depuis une montgolfière m'émerveillent toujours après 20 ans de vol. J'espère que vous avez passé de bonnes vacances. Helena et son équipe
