All of it, i loved the views and it was very peaceful. I was expecting to feel something when we started floating up in the air but i felt nothing. It was smoother than a plan ride you couldn't even feel the balloon going up. I loved every part of the ride.

Such a relaxing and enjoyable experience! I booked this as a surprise with my teenage granddaughter. We were both a bit apprehensive and all of that left once we were in the balloon and floating upwards. It was pure magic. We were delayed going up due to weather (wind) but once the pilots felt good about the weather, off we went. I do wish that I had understood that the meeting place (an airfield) wasn't our launch point but rather a trip about 20 min each way. This mattered because I had thought we could leave when we were finished with the post balloon ride celebration. This did impact the rest of our party who were waiting dinner on us and we were about an hour late! Lots of fun, though. Highly recommend
