Snohomish Balloon Rides

Went on a ride with Bob tonight. It was amazing. Everything was expertly done. The balloon was piloted excellently and we had a great time up in the air. Bob was awesome at explaining everything and answering questions as they arose. Before our flight there was excellent communication through scheduling and rescheduling (one due to my schedule, once due to weather). Great experience. Would definitely go again.

Covid killed our family summer plans so we booked a last minute unforgettable adventure for our 7 & 8 year old. Our scheduled flight was canvelled due to high winds and them not wanting to give us a 10 min ride due to the fast winds. We asked about rescheduling and Bob said they were booked through the end of the season, and chances of a cancellation were slim to none. I let him know we were available any time, and I woke up to a text saying to call in when they open as there may be availability! I called at 11:01 and talked to Bob who said they actually had a cancellation call the prior evening while we were waiting to see if we could fly, and we could take their spot! Of course we took it and had the BEST time ever!!! We helped our pilot Dwayne blow up the balloon and he let our kids help! He even let them go inside before it lifted off the ground! It was my husband and my second trip and our kids first - UNFORGETTABLE!!! Our kids loved it and so did weeee! We are ready for the Winthrop ride, and only hope to ride with Bob and Dwayne again! Thank you all!!!

It took six tries (first time was cancelled due to COVID restrictions; the other times were weather/smoke-related)... but we finally flew in mid-October, and it was wonderful! I am afraid of heights, but actually enjoy flying, as long as there is a feeling of security. There was such a feeling in the balloon. This was partly due to the height of the basket, partly due to all of the things that Captain Bob takes into account in order to be safe, and partly due to a surprising lack of the sense of movement, coupled with amazing quiet (except when the burner had to be fired up). Even though we didn’t travel very far because of minimal wind, we all agreed that that didn’t matter, because we were so awed by the views in all directions. It was very relaxing and exhilarating at the same time! Totally worth the wait!

Bob was great and had such great experience and stories to tell. It was so amazing to see the whole process of ballooning from the set up to the tear down. It was so relaxing and fun for my mom and I. Would highly recommend!

Best date I’ve ever had!! My fiancé and I decided to do this 2 days before our wedding and we had an absolute blast. Incredible views, but the best part was the process of taking off and landing.nnWorth every penny! Will be booking again for our 1 year anniversary. :)
