If you can handle an early wakeup, do not miss this opportunity! I booked the hot air balloon ride as a birthday present for my girlfriend, as we had a trip to Napa Valley planned a couple weeks later. The day of the ride, we arrived at the meeting location and unfortunately some fog rolled in, which made it unsafe to fly, so our trip that morning was cancelled. Knowing nothing about hot air ballooning, I'm glad this company doesn't take any risks. They did, however, have room the next morning and we were able to fly! Our pilot was Bob and he was great, explaining how the whole system works, how the balloon is controlled (to a point), and taking plenty of pictures with the attached go-pro camera. It was a really memorable experience and even as someone who is *terrified* of heights, I got over it because it's a very steady, controlled ride. Even the landing was soft and under control. If you're considering taking a hot air balloon ride while in Napa Valley, I would highly recommend Napa Valley Balloons.
