    Awesome ride! You won't be disappointed. The pilot was very knowledgeable and made the entire experience smooth and comfortable. My favorite part was the popcorn before the flight and the takeoff. It was an amazing experience, and I would definitely recommend it!

    Holy cow! What a great ride with Tahoe Balloons. A gorgeous morning, and the crew was excellent. On time, explained what was going on, and got us up within the hour. Also the winds were with us so we got to fly over South Lake Tahoe as well as the lake. Sheldon was great at explaining what we were seeing and how we were moving. An amazing ride.

    You absolutely must experience a hot air balloon flight with Lake Tahoe Balloons. Being a balloon pilot, I can tell you with expert confidence that this team is top notch - professional, fun, and most of all safe. I have flown many hundreds of balloon flights all over the country and none come close to this experience. The uniqueness of launching and landing from the boat alone sets this operation apart, the scenery only adds on top of that, and the crew being entertaining and professional put the cherry on top. You won't be disappointed!

The balloon pilot Sheldon was incredibly knowledgeable and the crew was amazing. Can’t say enough good things about our Hot Air Balloon experience. If you’re in Tahoe, this is a MUST DO!!!!
