Our Hot Air Balloon flight was a lifelong dream! We booked our flight for July 30th as a celebration for my birthday, but because of visibility due to forest fire smoke, we had to postpone till September 3rd. The weather was beautiful that day & we got to see the whole process of assembling the equipment to inflating the balloon & enjoying the very peaceful, scenic flight & then seeing how everything is dismantled! John (the pilot) & his family are very professional & John has hundreds of hours piloting balloons! John gave us an amazing tour with great commentary & gave us one of the smoothest landings we have ever experienced! John's wife Joy took pictures from the ground & sent them to us. We absolutely recommend this incredible experience with Okanagan Ballooning to everyone!

This was my second balloon flight, although the first with this company, so I have something to compare it to. All in all this flight was superb. I understand John, the pilot, had over 800 hours of balloon piloting experience and it showed in the take off and landing - both were seamless. The organization of the day was excellent too - a spectacular start to the day, a fabulous experience and worth every penny.

What a memorable experience. If you’ve not met the Okanagan ballooning family, it’s a must! The crew as well as the aeronaut, John, were phenomenal which enhanced our ballooning experience.
BONUS: We even got to help set up. 👍

It was a nice experience and the family that runs the business and the pilot was very friendly. The weather was perfect, BUT based on my experience I would not recommend. The ride was very short (NO EVEN AN HOUR and it didn’t go high at all. The reservation and confirmation stated “anywhere between 2 and 3 hours” so I didn't get what I paid for. It seems like the setup took longer than the ride. Also we were promised some photos by text and it's been 5 weeks and we are still waiting.

INCREDIBLE Hot Air Balloon Flight. The most WOW experience over Kelowna for myself, my wife and our daughter whilst visiting from England. Our pilot John along with his wife Joy and two sons met us early morning before driving us to our launch site just a short drive away. This was our first Hot Air Balloon flight and both John and Joy were so reassuring and very professional. Whilst John piloted our balloon, Joy and their two sons worked incredibly hard as ground crew. The entire flight was so peaceful and just majestic the whole time. Our landing in a nearby field was incredibly smooth too with a few welcoming spectators which was really nice. It was an absolute privilege to spend this beautiful morning in flight with John who again was incredibly professional and also our time on the ground too with Joy and their two sons. Thank you so much for this lifetime experience and making us feel like friends!

To say it was amazing does not speak to the joy of being in the air. Staff are excellent and customer service was the best. Due to weather cancellations and rebooking the process was seamless and professional. Our safety was number one! For an experience of a lifetime and the joy of floating freely above Kelowna and viewing Kelowna as never seen before. This is the way!! Thank you for making our day special and so worth the wait.

We took a hot air balloon ride over Kelowna, and it’s an experience I highly recommend. The views were breathtaking, and we had a smooth and gentle flight, including the landing. The staff was always friendly and attentive. Overall, it’s a fantastic company and an exceptional experience.

I celebrated my 80st birthday with this hot air balloon trip. The balloon pilot made it an amazing experience. He is so professional, so experienced and such a pleasant person that we felt completely safe from beginning to end. Best way to celebrate!!

Amazing experience. Every thing from meet up, to set up to landing was smooth and efficient. I felt safe the entire time with clear instructions given at all points. Crew was cheerful and professional. Certificate of flight and Bottle of bubbles at the end were a very nice touch. I would highly recommend checking this one off your bucket list. It's absolutely worth it.

I was impressed with how professional and responsive the owners were. They made the balloon ride for my mom and I super fun and we both felt very safe. It’s a family run business and they all worked really hard to ensure we had an OTT experience. It was totally worth getting up earlier than I usually do!
