We did a private flight with our family of four and pilot Chris. I am personally not a big fan of heights so I was surprised at how calm and relaxing it was! My family had an amazing time and Chris was a pleasure to talk to, and a wealth of information. All of the crew that we spoke to and interacted with were professional, friendly and very attentive. We highly recommend Portland Rose Hot Air Balloons!! And we would fly with them again!!

Such an amazing experience flying over the beautiful Oregon valley, incredible views.
The flight was so smooth that I did not even feel that we were going up or down, just that the view was changing.
Derek was very knowledgeable & extremely friendly, explaining what type of trees we were flying over, places of interest and landing the balloon in an open field, it was all more than I even expected.
Thank you Derek & Chris for creating such a magical wedding memory for my daughter & daughter-in-law, I love reliving our time in the air.

Such a great group of people. They gave a great flight and were so kind. They went above and beyond to help us get on a flight. I highly recommend Portland Rose Hot Air Balloons if you are wanting a hot air balloon experience.

This was a wonderful experience especially for a scaredy cat like me! I was nervous about doing it as I am not good with heights but I felt completely safe with the highly confident and competent crew. The views were fantastic and the pilot (Raphie) was happy to answer any my questions about ballooning and to point out places of interest during the flight. The take off and landing were smoother than anything I have experienced in a plane. I highly recommend Portland Rose Hot Air Balloons. If you have a special birthday/anniversary coming up this would be a perfect present.

Excellent experience. First time on a hot air balloon ride. The company was easy to book online. They promptly sent an email confirmation with instructions for the day of the flight. I received a reminder text the day before. All went well. It was amazing!! We got to see a lovely sunrise, got some facts about the farm areas we were passing over, the gentleman flying the balloon kindly answered everyone's questions and gave instructions for the landing. This was a birthday present for my husband and he was beyond happy with it! We would definitely recommend this company and come back again!

Such a beautiful experience with such a down to earth group. It's like a mom and pop (son and father) run group that is not short at all of experience or ways to make the trip enjoyable without diminishing from safety. Took care of everyone and was able to share so much history throughout as well as very knowledgeable friendly and professional through out the trip.

My families experience with Portland Rose Hot Air Balloons was amazing! We had a group of 10 for one balloon! Chris was our professional operator/expert captain. The company was easy to get a hold of, so all my questions were answered beforehand. Surprisingly, even our biggest scary-cat in our family was at ease as we took flight. If you are wanting to make memories in a hot air balloon look no further than this family run business!

The whole experience was absolutely amazing. These guys - all the crew as well as the owners, Derek and Chris really love what they do. They take safety very seriously but in such a gentle way that simply invites you to be part of the whole experience.
This was one of the adventures we had in our Bucket list and we are happy we chose Portland Rose Balloons.

I tried to buy 1 ticket for myself since a balloon ride was on my bucket list. Apparently they have so many customers, that they refused to sell me a ticket because I only wanted one ticket. Save your money and go some place else.

Hi,
We're sorry that you are unsatisfied with our policies. Due to COVID we had to implement some new safety practices in the balloon. This meant lowering our capacity by 33% in the balloon as well as keeping groups separated in the basket by compartments and vinyl windows. In order to make it feasible for us to fly, we need to book a group of 2 or 3 in each compartment. We do this so that 2 single passengers are not next to each other in the balloon and thus risking exposure to COVID. We implemented these policies in order to be as safe as possible during the pandemic. The safety of our passengers is our number one priority.
Our usual policy is to allow single flyers and we hope that we can bring that back soon, when it is safe to do so. We did offer you a flexible scheduling option if we do one day have an empty compartment open up, we would be more than happy to fly you.

A magical adventure. Floating above the landscape was beautiful. It was serene and the visibility was amazing. At sunrise we saw Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams and Mt St. Helens. Our pilot Raphy pointed out various areas of interest and shared info about the wind and our altitude. When it came time to land he prep us on what to do.
Booking was easy and we were notified the day before if the weather was favorable for our flight. Website questions & answers section was helpful.
We enjoyed watching the prep of the balloons and learning more about hot air ballon flights when we got back to the airport. Thanks to the entire crew for making our flight fabulous.
