We had a wonderful time on our sunset flight on August 9, 2022! Our captain, Bill, was experienced and friendly. The landing was so smooth! Our chase team was skilled and fun, and even offered recommendations of where to eat in the area. The champagne toast at the end is a wonderful tradition and we loved learning the history about it. The crew make safety their number one priority, so we did need to reschedule one time due to winds. This is to be expected when booking a hot air balloon ride. The staff was really helpful in rescheduling, and it was totally worthwhile! We would love to take another balloon ride with Balloon Quest in the future.

The ride itself was very nice. Perfect weather, the staff does some corny/fun things to add to the experience, very smooth takeoff and landing. As others have noted, expect to reschedule several times as they take that seriously, and wear a hat as there is a good bit of heat from the burners. They do not enforce/follow mask guidelines, though to be fair the other party on our trip did not want to wear masks, and I think they would have adhered if we would have pushed. (We decided to let it go to avoid a fuss.) People will vary in their opinions on whether this is a good or bad thing, so just something to ask about before you schedule. The pilot got a little antsy when my friend was taking pictures of the setup, as they were missing a clip for one of the ropes ("Oh, are you taking that for your lawyers?") but I don't think there was any real safety concern. The pilot (Eric) was knowledgeable and pointed out interesting sights along the way. We would have preferred he spend less time grousing about other passengers, "fake news", etc and focused on the positive aspects of the trip, but other reviews indicate a more positive experience so maybe he was just having a bad day. The other staff/volunteers were all quite nice, the office/restroom was older but clean and well-kept, and the champagne/juice toast and the certificates, pen, and pin are a fun touch and give you some souvenirs to take away. Overall a good experience that I would recommend with the above caveats in mind.

My sister & I went on our first balloon ride. It took several attempts with the weather being a big factor but once we did it was AMAZING! From start to finish it was by far the most exciting thing I've done to date. The evening was perfect for "floating" above the beautiful scenery below. I defintely would recommend a flight!

We had to reschedule several times because we had a large group and had to wait for room enough and for the weather to cooperate. It was worth the wait.
We had a perfect night, and made memories with our family that we all will treasure for a lifetime.
The pilot was wonderful. He told us what to expect, and flew with skill and calmness. The view was stunning. Even though we flew from Holly, we were able to see the skyline of Detroit as we rose higher! We recognized lots of local lakes, and could see horses and deer running below us. At one point, we were talking with a group of children riding their bikes below us!
Because the balloon goes wherever the wind decides to take it, every ride is different. I think I could become addicted!!

Recently celebrated my Moms birthday with Balloon Quest. Thanks to Captain Eric and the Balloon Quest Crew the celebration was a success! The team at Balloon Quest is professional, polite, and a ton of fun. If you’re up for an adventure I highly recommended Balloon quest!

We had the pleasure of riding today with this crew. From arriving, setting up to the flight and loading this flight was spectacular. Pilot was friendly, knowledgeable, and gave great landscape sights we came across. Yes we had to reschedule once but this was so worth the wait. We had two other couples with us that added to the experience.

My husband and I took a flight on Wednesday. It was one of the most amazing adventures we have shared in our thirty years of marriage! It was clear how much the captains enjoyed sharing this experience. They are also very concerned about safety. We finally went up after six scheduled flights, but it was completely worth the wait. The evening flight was beautiful. We can't wait to go again.

My daughter and I took a flight in the early morning. This is the best time!
The Staff at Ballon Quest gave us quick, but detailed safety instructions.
The team was very professional. You can tell that they have a lot of experience. Capt. Eric gave us many very interesting facts and information during the flight. We had the greatest time and probably will do that soon again.

Sunrise Flight. Starts with balloon inflation and orientation movie. Flight goes wherever the wind desires. We flew over woodland, farms, and residential areas. We saw deer in their hiding places and also dipped into a lake. Many folks came out on their back porches to cheer us along. We, in turn; gave roof reports. The flight ended with a champagne toast and 'other ballon stories!. Note: Everything is weather dependent (Captain Phogg takes no chances or risks!)

Really nice trip. Captain was knowledgeable and entertaining. Skimmed the treetops and touched the water in a small lake.
