This was definitely a great experience. I would recommend it to anyone that can afford it as it is quite expensive. We spent a little over $400 for two including the breakfast at Pacific Blues Cafe. Our pilot was great and he has 10's of thousands of flight miles so we all felt safe. It's so beautiful over the valley... More

This was part of a a special trip for my wife's birthday. An early start that was well worth it. Stepping out of our hotel (villagio) into a crisp Napa morning, we walked across the parking lot to meet the team from aloft. A full briefing before getting underway. With only one other couple on the trip, we had an... More

My hot air balloon Ride with Napa Valley Aloft balloons was amazing!!! Start to finish it was top notch. My boyfriend and I chose Napa Valley Aloft Balloons because they offer non-crowded, smaller balloon baskets. I was happy I did after noticing a huge hot air balloon w/ 20+ people crammed in another company's balloon, our balloon had 10 (five... More

An amazing sunrise ride over NAPA Valley is a must do when spending time in the Yountville area. The entire process from check in, through landing was handled in a very professional manner. Our captain was engaging and very knowledgeable of the NAPA Valley offering insight and history of ballooning and vineyards. Our balloon ride lasted right around an hour... More

Cant stop talking about this experience. It was completely amazing and breathtaking. Riding in the balloon at sunrise over Napa Valley, fall color was spectacular, minimal low fog, followed by 10 other balloons cruising the valley, just spectacular. Talk about a photo-op!

We were with a group that went up in 3 separate balloons, each manned by a member of the family-owned Napa Valley Aloft. The entire experience was wonderful and we would do it again in a heartbeat. The owner of the company, our pilot, has over 9000 hours flying balloons, and we were totally at ease, not nervous at all.... More

This was a blast. We weren't able to do Napa because of weather, so they took us to the Central Valley and it was great. We didn't feel compromised at all and felt that everything was done with safety first. The view was great and there was little sensation of moving. Not scary at all. The pilot and crew were... More

This is a bit of a late review, we took our flight on August 28th to celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary. Taking a hot air balloon ride was not on my bucket list, but when we were researching our trip to Napa, we decided that it was an experience we had to try it. I am so happy that we... More

For years I have seen hot air balloons dotting the early morning horizon. I said to myself "one day I want to "be" up there!" And last Monday was my "one day". My husband and I were jittery with excitement already when "J" greeted us across the parking lot with..."Are you ready to fly?" He seemed as excited as we... More
