Greatest experience ever! Boat ride was very comfortable for those who don’t have good sea legs - no worries - the +50’ craft was very sturdy. Lifting off & beginning our accent but to return & dip in the water was awesome! As rising to over 4000’ above the water is an amazing feeling. We were able to see views over 200 miles away like Mt. Shasta & YNP. Sheldon(pilot) & crew were very accommodating & informative. I loved how the crew were all accessible - Sheldon even made his way around the boat in the morning to personally greet the customers. A must see - for thrill seekers or those just wanting to take in the sights thru a different perspective.

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!

Absolutely incredible! The entire crew is so friendly, fun, and welcoming. You can tell when people love their job, and indeed they do! The hot air balloon captain shares his passion with no limit and makes you have an experience that you won’t forget! Highly recommend on a family vacation!

Amazing experience. Went with family to celebrate my dad’s 80th birthday with ages between 12 and 80. Everyone had an amazing time. Sheldon the pilot and the whole crew were amazing. Incredible views. Also an option for people to ride along with the boat without taking the balloon. Early morning but totally worth it.

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 🩷🎉
