Above the Clouds Hot Air Balloon Rides

Chris was AWESOME. Everyone was so nice and courteous. Best time ever. Absolutely beautiful. Bring a heavy sweater or jacket I was chilly. :) Thank you for the great memories.nnOne of the most memorable times we have ever had. In these trying times this made me and my husband realize how lucky we were to experience such a view and we had good company along for the ride. Check this one off the bucket list.

Wanted to try something exciting and memorable before sending off my oldest back to college, especially during these troubling and uncertain times. I contacted the company after seeing so many positive reviews. My window of opportunity was admittedly small as my daughter was leaving us in just a week, but the company moved mountains to make it work in our schedule and away we went. The first sign that this was going to be a life changing event was pulling up right as the sun was rising and standing with my family in an open field under the beauty of the colors on the horizon. From there, we were transfixed from the moment we watched the balloon being inflated and literally coming to life. Brought me back to memories of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and the wonder of seeing the majesty of the floats. Boarding into the basket was all part of the experience, as was waiting for lift off. As we started to rise, we could feel our collective souls transcend into the atmosphere and we became part of something SO peaceful and yet so thrilling that it defies words or description. I could have floated FOREVER. Seeing the world from this perspective was beyond memorable. Watching my kids faces and their smiles, even covered by masked but revealed through the crinkles in their cheeks and just around their eyes, was awe and wonder in its most natural form. All throughout, Chris gave us history of ballooning and about the local area below that was both informative and fun. The landing was smooth and the champagne toast was exhilarating. I cannot say enough about Deana, who was mentioned in nearly every review as being so sweet and so wonderful, and I can honestly say that she was all that and SO much more. It is not a cheap experience, but it is absolutely worth EVERY penny and something I wish everyone could experience at least once in their lives. A day later and I can still feel myself soaring Above the Clouds!!! Thankful for checking off a bucket list item with this excellent company and being able to sing their much deserved praise!!!!

Amazing experience! Chris & Deana are SO sweet! Super each to reach, flexible & a delight to work with! They truly made this an experience from start to finish. Can’t wait to come back & fly again!!

Loved every aspect of this balloon riding experience — from the ease of coordinating beforehand (Deana and co were very accommodating and communicative) to feeling safe going up in the basket in a relatively small group, to the celebratory glass of champagne after the ride. We loved our pilot as well! Keep it up, y'all!

Great pilot. I was a bit skeptical of the cost at first but when you see what goes into operating one of these it makes more sense. Cost aside. Very cool and serene way to start you morning and mark a special occasion. All people involved were friendly and professional.
