This is without a doubt one of the best experiences this 70 year old has ever had. All nine of us had a great adventure. One of the best parts is how knowledgeable the entire crew is. Our pilot Sheldon gave us commentary on everything as it was happening. His experience and knowledge was definitely a highlight.

Celebrating our 1 year Kidney transplant anniversary we chose to hot air balloon over Lake Tahoe with Sheldon and his crew after hearing how great they are through the Hot Air for Hope event. From start to finish they were personable, thoughtful, funny, safety conscientious and knowledgeable. We had the best unique experience ever and highly recommend for anyone looking for an experience to remember. Don’t wait, book your trip today you won’t regret it!

What an amazing experience! I can't speak highly enough of the all the gentleman on the boat that took care of us. These guys are a well-oiled machine! Everyone was so friendly and informative, making sure we felt comfortable (coffee, tea, and pastries were served, as well as blankets provided!) and safe. I learned a lot and felt like I was an active participant in the experience! I had no idea this was the only place in the world where you can take off and land from the water! It was a beautiful, gentle flight, and I'm so grateful to the Lake Tahoe Balloons for the safe, fun, and exciting trip! Big thanks to our pilot Sheldon and the rest of the team!

Coolest experience!! Would go again and again. Our first flight was cancelled due to the weather but they had no problem booking us on the next day. Which the weather was perfect! The pilot, Sheldon was so informative and had great stories. The crew was fantastic and we felt 100% safe the entire time. Thank you guys so much for a memorable experience :)

One of the most wonderful experience ever! As pilot Sheldon mentioned “ the most unique.” Btw he’s an amazing pilot, loves his job and a pretty good DJ 😉 The entire crew was great and a special 🤙🏽to captain George. My husband and I left there in awe. Love Tahoe even more!
