I have always wanted to fly in a balloon. In Australia a person confined to a wheelchair is not allowed to fly in a balloon (you have to be able bodied). Up & Away Ballooning made this possible for me with their wheelchair accessible balloon basket. Because Mike and his team were so professional and attentive to my needs, my... More

My husband, my daughter, our 14yr old grandson and myself went on a balloon ride, our first, with Up & Away Ballooning in Santa Rosa, CA. Beautiful sunny morning, clear skies, and marvelous scenery as far as you could see. It was peaceful, and total bliss on this gentle ride piloted by David, an informative and well trained staff member.... More

Mike and his crew are the best! Everything was done right. My first time to Sonoma county and my first time to experience hot air ballooning. Beautiful morning to enjoy a beautiful view of Sonoma county. Dan was great. Professional, knowledgeable, safe and fun. The after flight brunch that Mike's wife makes is delicious. Put this on your Sonoma County... More

Absolutely amazing experience. We did this to celebrate my cousin's 1 year anniversary of being cancer-free, and it couldn't have been more breathtaking or serene. The brunch was delicious, and the whole experience was even more than I could have asked for. Our hot-air balloon pilot was funny but professional, and I felt more than safe. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

Not only the ride was safe & gorgeous but in addition, the customer service was impeccable. Really felt taken... More

A wonderful morning experience. Soaring over the vineyards and lovely homes in Sonoma County was a treat. Very quiet and peaceful (except when the burners are engaged). The crew was very professional and explained everything clearly. Our pilot, David, was eager to answer any questions about the balloon, requirements for flying, the area, etc. After a very smooth landing, we... More

On Monday my husband and I flew over vineyards with Up & Away. Paul had wanted to go in a hot air balloon for his birthday, so I researched balloon trips in our larger geographical area. I looked on the internet to find trips in Napa and Sonoma wine country.. Up & Away got all positive reviews, so we went... More
