This was my first time in a hot air balloon and it was an amazing experience. Tommy and Seth did a great job. It was interesting to see the process of the balloon being blown up. The ride was very smooth. We would highly recommend it!

Everyone should go on a hot air balloon ride at least once! I was a little nervous about what the trip would entail but the excellent staff at Hot Air Expeditions made this an incredible experience for me. I received a phone call the day before my flight confirming the pick up time. The driver Jim picked me up promptly at my hotel the morning of the flight. On the drive out to the launch site, he shared a number of funny stories that made me completely forget that I had been nervous at all about the flight. When we arrived at the site, we got to watch as the crew prepared the balloon for the flight. Our captain Tommy Brown was wonderful. He took us on an smooth, easy flight up to over 6,000 feet. I can't say enough about how safe and relaxing the entire experience felt. It was such a smooth ride, I barely felt like we were moving. But we definitely did! The driver met us at our landing point and had breakfast and champagne ready for us. I'd call it a once in a lifetime experience but I definitely want to do it again!

I wanted to experience a balloon ride on the west coast. This is not my first balloon ride. The captain Tommy and his crew were great. They were very speedy at blowing up the balloon and putting it back together once we landed. I would do this again sometime.
