This was a bucket list item for me and did not disappoint. It was so peaceful and beautiful that many times I described it as floating through a dream. The crew and our pilot, Nacho, were the absolute best. This is a "must do" experience!

Great experience! Best birthday gift! Seeing the beautiful sunrise and views. Our pilot was Mateo and he was awesome! The ride was not scary at all in fact it was smooth and safe. Worth doing this activity if you are considering. My partner was afraid of heights but once we started going up the fear went away. Again great experience!

Wonderful experience!! The views were so beautiful and the pilot was very professional and educational. I could have stayed in that basket all day.

Amazing balloon ride over Sonoma and Napa. Great experience and flight. The team at Sonoma Ballooning are nice and detailed. You can tell they are experienced in what they do. Mateo was a great pilot.

The experience was amazing. The whole staff was friendly and knowledgeable about their jobs and the surrounding landscape. Our flight attendant was Jeff a funny and happy person. I would recommend to all that visit Napa to do this experience.

Fabulous experience. Pilots were extremely knowledgeable about the area. Mateo was helpful and gave us a smooth ride and landing. Pilots had years of experience.

It was a wonderful experience. The flight leaves at dawn with the other travelers that have booked that day. The pilot will take your picture in front on the balloon which was super helpful to me as a solo traveler. The flight will only take off if the weather is optimal. They rescheduled my flight because the first day was too windy. This assured me that safety was their top priority. It was a once in a lifetime experience with a trusted and experienced company.

Horrible company! Communication is key! My experience was canceled on 2/26 d/t issues with the weather/fog, definitely understandable. It was rebooked directly with the company for 2/27. Arrived at the location on 2/27 at 6:30 am and no one was there. Keep in mind both days I set up an Uber do transportation, on the 26th the pilot didn’t call until 30 minutes prior to cancel so I was charged a fee for canceling the Uber late. On 2/27 the Uber driver was nice enough to stay because it was so early and dark. He stayed with us and eventually brought us back to our hotel the grand total for both days was $125. I waited until 9am to call the company and they blamed it on Viator. I asked them how was that possible when I spoke directly with them for the rebooking. So my birthday trip was ruined because I really wanted to do the ballon ride as part of it. Find another company to book your balloon ride with…not Sonoma Balloning!!!

This was so exciting to do. I went solo and felt comfortable the entire time. The location, the team, the balloon, the views, the complimentary champagne, everything as great :)
