So much fun! The views over South Lake Tahoe were absolutely incredible. Our pilot made the ride even better—he was a fantastic entertainer with great music and amazing stories that really added to the experience. Highly recommend!

THE MOST INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE! 💥 we got to air balloon over Lake Tahoe and it was beyond breathtaking. The ride is so smooth, relaxing, and pilot Sheldon is incredibly inspiring. He is happy, joyful, makes you just want to smile, tells stories, lists all the facts you’d want to learn about the lake and plays music. He also took us through the meadows, where we got to see the reflections of the balloon over the water and lily pads. It was unbelievable, the entire experience, thank you pilot Sheldon! Also, the entire crew is great. Illya spent his time taking photos of us, is very kind, and makes you feel like home. We will be back 🩷🎉

Breathtaking! Highly recommend! We have never ballooned before and wanted to do something special for our 27th wedding anniversary. The captain, pilot, and balloon crew were professional and entertaining. Spectacular views of Lake Tahoe! Our pilot, Blake, was very knowledgeable on ballooning history, local trivia, and bad dad jokes :) Looking forward to another flight in the future.

A totally amazing experience- it lived up to and surpassed any expectations. The crew was super attentive throughout, the captain and pilot were extremely knowledgeable too. A beautiful calm day with views to Yosemite and Washington- couldn’t have asked for more. Definitely worth it- would love to return. Thank you for an amazing morning.

Absolutely amazing experience. Perfect flight and it was so cool to launch and recover on a boat! Views were fantastic. The crew was so fun. Totally worth it! We got lucky and had perfect weather.
