“Awesome ride in the desert of Dubai”

Reviewed 10 May 2013

Great trip! Our first experience hot air ballooning and we definitely felt safe. It was like a magic carpet ride, very quiet up in the air and the landing was very fun. Captain Mike was friendly, helpful and put everyone at ease. Bought the video-totally worth it-we're able to have a special memory! Thanks from California : }

“Great experience!”

Reviewed 10 April 2013

Do it! Pricey, but well worth it. Amazing views, and it´s so quiet when you get up in the air. We flew with Captain Mike – funny guy! Bought the video that they offer after landing – received it two days later.

“Fabulous experience!”

Reviewed 30 March 2013

Our balloon experience with Captain Mike was great fun. It took a while till the view got better but then we were on top of it lucky to fly over Al Maha. Soft landing near Al Madam. As it was my first balloon experience I can't compare but from what one hears on horror stories of ballooning in Africa and... More

“Memories for a lifetime.”

Reviewed 18 March 2013

Wonderful experience! Very professional, experienced team. Safety came first with good briefings before and during the flight. We had a great flight with amazing, stunning views of the desert landscape. Sights you will only see from the sky, we flew between 1000m and even down to 2m above the sand dunes. Will do it again on a next visit to... More

Good on you for giving ballooning a go! Lots of our passengers are uncomfortable with heights, but going up in the balloon is a great way to lessen it, a bit like therapy. Probably because it's such a smooth and gentle experience when we ascend. Everything sounds as if it went smoothly in the morning which is what we aim... More

“paid for videoclip to be sent but nothing”

We enjoyed the trip and would recomend it to our friends. Only one hickup though and that is that we paid for the videoclip which was 150 dirhams and still did not receive anything. I send 2 e-mails in this regard and no one even replied with an answer. That is sad and will warn my friends to be cautious... More

They changed some settings without informing us and blocked our info@ballooning.ae address (which is also attached to our website bookings) for a... More
