The hot air balloon flight was the highlight of our trip to the Algarve! After a few reschedules due to wind conditions, we were rewarded with a clear morning and light winds and were able to fly for quite a distance. Helena (pilot), Miguel & Aldis (ground crew and pilots-in-training) were an absolute delight - professional, safe, and personable. We were invited to participate in the set-up and pack-up the balloon before/after the flight, which was lots of fun and added to the entire experience. We learned a great deal from Helena about the area and about balloon flight in general - very fascinating! We felt extremely safe during the entire flight, including a very gentle take-off and landing. We would highly recommend this adventure when visiting the Algarve! One piece of advice would be if you are staying in the area for a period of time, reserve the balloon flight early in your stay so you have other potential options to reschedule if the weather conditions are not suitable for flying.
Thanks again Helena and team!
