What an absolute amazing experience. The pilot was incredible! Blake did a great job educating us and keeping us safe and comfortable. The crew were so kind and helpful they took photos, gave us blankets, and provide us with snacks and drinks. They told us some local information to help us get to know the area better. The captain was also super knowledgeable and very helpful. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend. I can’t imagine a better way to experience Lake Tahoe, then a hot air balloon ride on top of a boat

Incredible experience!! This once in a lifetime adventure made for a memorable honeymoon memory. The staff was awesome. And the pilot Blake was hilarious and oh so friendly. This company can’t do enough for you and will provide an amazing time!

Enjoy Tahoe from above during a magical flight on the only balloon that takes off and lands from a boat! This unbeatable experience will stay in your memories for years to come. Not only will you get to see Tahoe from above, you’ll get to ride on a boat on the lake before any others are out. You get to experience not only seeing the lake from above, you get to do so while floating peacefully and quietly in the air. I highly recommend this experience!

10 out of 10! First class and professional operation! Blake our pilot and crew did an outstanding job. If you’re nervous don’t be! Flight is smooth and peaceful. Absolutely the most breathtaking views of beautiful Lake Tahoe! This was our first hot air balloon ride and it won’t be our last! Defiantly an experience of a lifetime you will not forget!

This was 2 years in the making, a wedding gift from my sister. And this did not disappoint!! First, the crew are amazing! The skill it takes to inflate/deflate a balloon on a moving vessel!! The captain’s skill to chase to balloon, expertly line up a 100’ ‘aircraft carrier’ and have it land gracefully, is a skill to be admired. The pilot has had over 4800 flights without incident, has a great personality, shares so many amazing sites and stories. We just could not ask for more. Oh wait, then there’s simply the views, and the serenity of free floating over lake and forest. Highly recommend this experience! But do note, that they only fly when the weather is safe to do so…
