  • ★★★★★Yuki M. · Japan

    Pickup was on time at 4:30am. Carlos handled everything — operator paperwork, balloon assignment, breakfast in the cave. The sunrise over the pyramids is unreal.

  • ★★★★★Lauren D. · United States

    Smooth from end to end. Carlos answered every nervous question in the van. The breakfast after was just as memorable as the flight.

  • ★★★★★Federico R. · Argentina

    Madrugamos a las 4. Valió cada minuto. Carlos sabe el negocio y se nota — todo coordinado, sin estrés, sin sobreventa.

Schedule and policy

Balloon flights cancel for wind or weather — that call belongs to the operator. We rebook to the next viable morning, or rework the day to ground-only. Refunds follow the operator's policy; we'll lay it out before you pay anything.
