With Discovery Balloons, we had a very remarkable and incredible experience. They were quick to respond through text and readily picked us up and left us off at the hotel. We had the hot air balloon ride with Hakan, who was an excellent navigator. Finally, the champagne and faux tails were a nice touch. Discovery Balloons gave excellent service, and I definitely suggest this activity with them.
Amazing memorable experience, extremely helpful personnel, and well-organized event Pilot is really outstanding and skilled, and flying over the canyon at such a low altitude was breathtaking, highly recommended.
We thoroughly appreciated this trip, and we were transported from start to finish (hotel pickup). Given the early departure, we were given small nibbles and drinks for “breakfast” on the way. The hot air balloon journey was quite smooth, and the pilot was outstanding, landing perfectly. We were served champagne and cake after the flight, which was fantastic. Thank you to the entire staff (including the pilot) for working so hard to make this a pleasurable, safe, and smooth experience for all of us. Thank you.
