Our balloon trip couldn't have possibly been better. The balloons we were in were clearly the prettiest in the sky, our pilot was very educational and humorous, and our ride was a very long 1.5 hours in air. Our weather - naturally outside of the company's control - was perfect, so much so that they said "don't come back and... more

My husband and I booked a hot air balloon tour as part of our honeymoon in Napa. Im not a morning person so gettting up at 5am was not my idea, but the tour was wonderful. The views are amazing from the balloon. We were there with 6 other people in our basket and our pilot was funny. He told... more

Very early on a Friday morning (after driving 8 hours from a 3 day trip to Disneyland) we very sleepily went to take our hot air balloon ride. Although we were not anywhere near the life of the party when we arrived at the designated meeting space we were ready to be awed, and awed we were. The morning started... more

We were in Napa for one day which also happened to be our anniversary. I wanted to do something with my husband and son that would be exceptionally memorable. We had a balloon trip scheduled with Bonaventures but due to email issues-we missed our flight. We tried to reschedule for the next day but they said it was too windy... more

On Apr 28, 2008 we took a scenic tour over Napa with Napa Valley Balloons. Everything was fantastic! Early morning continental breakfast, quick drive to the prime launch site, spectacular view of 8 balloons in the air, a quick splash and dash into a reservoir, a gorgeous drift over downtown Napa, a smooth landing in a field teeming with deer,... more

This was definately the highlight of our 7 day vacation. We began at 6:15am at a golf course in Yountville, CA. We congregated for a continental breakfast and a briefing. We then were all assigned a balloon and were off the the launch site (just a few blocks away and they take you by bus.) At the launch site we... more

If you ever get the chance to go on a hot air balloon ride with Napa Valley Balloons, do not let the opportunity pass you by. I went on 10/11/07 and it was a breathtakingly beautiful morning. The staff was just tremendous, especially Don and our pilot Gabe. It was worth every $$ and I would do it again in... more

I had booked the balloon trip for my girlfriend and I to enjoy. We had spent a weekend in Napa last August and the weather was spectacular so I expected the same this year. The weather did not disappoint. However, the balloon companies have to find an alternative venue if there is fog in the morning. There was fog. Instead... more

We signed up for the balloon ride on Saturday April 7, my birthday. The weather report worsened as the date approached... and although the flight was confirmed when we called Fri evening, it was canceled Sat morning. Kind of a bummer after going to bed early and waking up at 5am on my birthday! But what can you do -... more
